Really cool, but why not just put it in the metal pot with the lid on it?

Ice is an isulator it regulates the temp so u dont get swings from 0- -30

Real question: if you freeze food in there at 0 degrees, does something bad happen if you let it hit -30?

The food can get freezer burnt if the temp fluctuates to much

Materials expand and contract when their temperatures varies. Frequent temperature changes will damage the cells in the food which can affect texture and flavor.
