in fluid communication with chamber 50 in use chamber 50 may be substantially filled with ice and water through inlet 84 to affect reduce regulate and or manage a temperature within the receptacle housing the insert 100 moreover items placed in the cooler may be placed on top surface 21 and may be further placed against front surface 62 items placed within the receptacle may be cooled through a contact with top surface 21 and front surface 62 the items may also be simultaneously cooled by the air cooled by the presence of the insert 100 within the receptacle e g cooler in some embodiments as ice placed in chamber 50 melts ice may settle toward first end 11 in chamber 50 and water may settle near second end 12 of chamber 50 cold melt water may travel down chamber 50 toward second end 12 forcing warmer water in chamber 50 to travel from second end 12 toward first end 11 thus the position of the melting ice in the insert may generate a circulating effect that reduces the temperature gradient in the cooler further in some embodiments the higher that back surface 64 extends up the adjacent cooler wall the more the temperature gradient in the cooler may be reduced in some embodiments in use liquid may be removed from chamber 50 of insert 100 through opening 87 liquid may be removed with a siphon pump or other means as would be known to one of skill in the art ice may subsequently be added to chamber 50 through.
