Cooling assembly for chilling or freezing liquid ingredients

A spherical cooling assembly comprising:

• a sealable inner canister;
• a sealable outer container;
• a cooling chamber formed between the inner canister and the outer container, wherein the outer container comprises an external elastomeric shell having a spherical curvature forming at least a portion of a sphere and a rigid internal shell;
• a first lid sealing the outer container or the inner canister, the first lid being removable and having an adjustable flap attached thereto, the flap being adjustable between a closed position and an extended position without unsealing the outer container and without unsealing the inner canister, whereby when the flap is in the extended position it can be manually gripped about a perimeter thereof for use in removing the first lid;
• wherein the flap includes an internal surface that faces a surface of the cooling assembly when the flap is in the closed position, and wherein the flap includes a partially spherical curvature of the external elastomeric shell;
• and
• wherein the flap is configured such that when it is in the closed position, the spherical cooling assembly can be rolled over a surface passing over the entire flap without obstructing the rolling, and when the flap is in the extended position, the flap obstructs the rolling, whereby the flap can be used for stabilizing the spherical cooling assembly when in the extended position.
