Abstract

A refrigeration apparatus with a food storage compartment (1), provided with a container (2) adapted to hold a pat of butter (3) and equipped with appropriate means (33) for submitting such a pat of butter (3) to a heat treatment consisting substantially of an infrared radiation that hits the butter from above, wherein said means (33) make use of a PTC device.
A thermally conductive metal surface (10) is arranged on the ceiling of such a container (2) and said PTC device (33) is positioned above said thermally conductive metal surface (10) in contact therewith. In a preferred manner, said PTC device (33) has a power rating of at least 200 W and is activated by a time-controlled device (17) adapted to cut off the power supply automatically after a pre-established period of time.
