Hello Iris, Chilling phals to 34 to 40 in the refrigerator is to cold, but you could turn up the refrigerator's thermostat. There is no reason that that would not work. As far as ice, I wouldn't put it in a pot. You could try an experiment. Put the ice in a large container with lid (bucket, garbage, can). At night put the phals above the ice and close with lid. Will that work? I don't know.
