There is another way to cool soft and thick foods (such as beans, sauce or chili) when using the refrigerator is by having them to be placed in one container in which they are in a water bath, to be heated off. Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator or it can be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating but putting hot food in the fridge right away is the safest. Large amounts of food should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers for quicker cooling in the refrigerator because b acteria can grow rapidly on food if it is left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
