    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

        For some reason I always assume the matter is created at ambient temperatures, but then it could just use the outside space for freezing ambient temps.
