There is provided a refrigerating as-sembly for temporarily storing an item at a first temperature lower than an ambient temperature. The refrigerating assembly comprises a container for receiving the item and a shell adapted for re-movably receiving the container therein. The con-tainer comprises a sidewall having therein defined a cavity containing an amount of a refrigerant medi-um having a second temperature lower than the am-bient temperature for temporarily maintaining the item received in the container at the first tempera-ture. The shell has an outer surface which is at the ambient temperature and an inner surface which has a layer of thermally insulating material mounted thereon for thermally insulating the shell from the container, thereby maintaining the outer surface at the ambient temperature. There is further provided a method for temporarily storing an item at a first temperature lower than an ambient temperature. |
