It's no secret that you shouldn't put pots with steam pouring out of their contents into the refrigerator.
This thoughtless action can lead to the failure of household appliances.
But each of us has situations when there is absolutely no time to wait.
Therefore, it is worth using a life hack that will help you cool food to room temperature in the shortest possible time.
To do this, you will need the pot itself, for example, with soup, and a sink, which is found in every kitchen.
Close the drain in the sink with a stopper and fill it with water, cold of course. If you have cubes lying around in the freezer, feel free to throw them in the water.
All that's left is to place the pot of hot lunch in the sink and wait for it to cool.
After this, you can safely send the prepared dish to be stored in the refrigerator.
