Replicate yourself a bunch of ice, a cooler, and a fresh stew, and...

The answer to replicator problems is always MORE REPLICATION!
- I always knew it could make hot food, but can a replicator create ice?
  It's easy to put energy into a system, but removing it usually takes time.
  
  Why would it remove energy? It doesn't create liquid water and then freezes it. It creates matter with a certain energy level. Creating ice would probably just cost a minuscule bit less energy than the same amount of liquid water
- Just replicate day old stew
  
  Oh... you mean instant.
- I guess post scarcity go BRRR, but if I was Chief Engineer and caught some flunky using my precious reactor output to replicate ice there’d be a pointed discussion on thermodynamics
  
  Replicator, replicate me a flunky to sit through the Chief's lecture again I want piña coladas
  
  This has me wondering about the semantics of potentially replicating a bunch of high capacity batteries.
  
  this is why every replicator has a bucket of sand stored underneath
  
  That's a good point. Could we set a phaser to "cold?"
  
  What about a stew pot sized heatpump cooker/cooler?
  
  Maybe if we tuned the transporter’s annular confinement beam to match the warp core’s frequency we could slow down the particles in the stew, cooling it appropriately!
  
  A week in the transporter buffer should be roughly equivalent to overnight in the fridge
  
  ahh, I miss Scottie's transpobuffer hooch
  
  Use the transporter to make smoothies you say? Surely nothing could make anything more finely mixed than a transporter
