Until the early 1900s, Ice-cooled foods and drinks were a luxury available only to the wealthy. An Australian newspaper editor named James Harrison thought he could make a fortune if he could freeze and transport surplus befif and mutton to England, where meat prices were very high.

Harrison patented his machine in 1857 and by 1873 had perfected his method. He arranged a special meal to celebrate his invention.
