Experienced housewives recommend not putting hot food and dishes in the refrigerator.

It is necessary to allow containers and dishes to cool at room temperature.

They can then be sent for storage.

If you ignore this rule and place a pot of hot soup on the shelf of this appliance, heat stroke may occur.

It is important to keep in mind that domestic refrigerators are usually designed to remove only a small amount of heat.

As a result, household appliances will fail.

In addition, it should be noted that products that were sent for storage hot will quickly spoil.

Housewives also note that if the food from the refrigerator has already been heated, then it can be kept at room temperature for no more than an hour. Do not re-cool or freeze it if you do not want to increase the risk of food poisoning.
