Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
I'm paranoid about food poisoning and worked in big kitchens where it was the rule to refrigerate stuff while still warm, but others seem to disagree.

Why not?Definitely not until it's cool.
New fridges adjust- some of the older ones you can 'turbo' for a bit too. I think the advice is from the sort of fridges we all had a few years agoCool it to at least lukewarm or it'll raise the temperature of the fridge which risks all the other food in there too.
I've always had tiny, shit fridges (private rental... ) so err on the side of caution. With a big expensive fridge it probably doesn't matter so much.New fridges adjust- some of the older ones you can 'turbo' for a bit too. I think the advice is from the sort of fridges we all had a few years ago
It warms the fridge up.Why not?
Not if you store them in leftover containersIt warms the fridge up.
How so?Not if you store them in leftover containers
They're shallow enough.How so?
It cools down. That's what fridges do.but the heat has to go somewhere...
a container being shallow has nothing to do with the amount it will raise the heat inside the fridge.It cools down. That's what fridges do.
They're shallow enough.
our fridge is 17 years old. do many people have state of the art fridges?New fridges adjust- some of the older ones you can 'turbo' for a bit too. I think the advice is from the sort of fridges we all had a few years ago
It will chill quicker in a shallow dish. The fridge is cool enough not for the temperature to be raised. If it was in a massive casserole, it would take ages to cool and might raise the internal temperature of the fridge.a container being shallow has nothing to do with the amount it will raise the heat inside the fridge.
Is nobody reading the links I posted?That's about how quickly the food cools, rather than whether it warms the fridge.
I wouldn't do it.
for a *given quantity* of food it will still put the same amount of heat into the fridge, just at a different rate.It will chill quicker in a shallow dish. The fridge is cool enough not for the temperature to be raised. If it was in a massive casserole, it would take ages to cool and might raise the internal temperature of the fridge.
i did. i don't find it convincing as support for your positionIs nobody reading the links I posted?

Nah - this is also bollocks. I live with some guys from India and they make a batch of rice everyday and just leave it in the rice cooker until it's been eaten. No fridging at all and they seem to get up alive every morning.You definitely need to put rice in the fridge before you cool it down if you bother to reuse leftover rice.
Safe cooling of cooked riceNah - this is also bollocks. I live with some guys from India and they make a batch of rice everyday and just leave it in the rice cooker until it's been eaten. No fridging at all and they seem to get up alive every morning.
They also cook all manner of curries and leave them in the pot on the cooker until it's all been eaten. This can take a few days sometimes.
