The invention relates to a method for cooling down food having a temperature higher than the ambient temperature, the method using: €¢ a first container (110) for storing the food to be cooled in an interior, the first container (110) comprising a first opening (111); and €¢ a second container (120) comprising a second opening (125) and a fan assembly (126) arranged to generate an air stream through the second opening (125); and the method comprises the steps of: - generating the air stream by operating the fan assembly (126); and - stacking the first container (110) and the second container (120) to form a pile (200) in such a way that the first opening (111) and the second opening (125) are arranged to allow the air stream to flow in the interior of the first container (110).
