Apparatus (10) and methods for transferring heat between a heat transfer liquid and a plurality of moving containers (30) of food product. The containers (30) are conveyed by a perforated conveyor (20) at least partially submerged in a pool (32) of the heat transfer liquid and are showered at the same time with the heat transfer liquid. The pool (32) of heat transfer liquid continuously drains and recirculates through either a heater (90) or a chiller (90). A vibrator unit (70) vibrates the pool (32) of heat transfer liquid, the conveyor (20) and the containers (30) during the heat transfer operation.
