Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 757,755, filed Jan. 9, 2006.TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention generally pertains to a cold storage device for heat-sensitive items. More specifically, the present invention relates to a portable, lightweight bag intended for, but not limited to the temporary storage of perishable foodstuffs. [0003] Many food items require low temperature storage to maintain their healthfulness and safety. Low temperature storage inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria in food. Common food pathogens grow over a temperature range of roughly 40° F. to 140° F. (4° C. to 60° C.); it is therefore important to maintain the temperature of a stored food above or below this range. This temperature range is customarily referred to as the “Danger Zone” for food storage. [0004] In the case of prepared food, maintained at temperatures below 40° F., a subsequent increase in te...
