Eli5: why is it safer to let food cool down before putting it in fridge, instead of putting it in hot?
In: Biology
From what I’ve read, it’s not really unsafe anymore. The problem was more about the hot food warming up the other items in the fridge and putting them in the danger zone(above 4 deg C). Fridges nowadays are more than capable of maintaining the fridge temps. However having said that, I wouldn’t put anything in the fridge immediately after cooking.
