Potentially hazardous food should not be left out for more than 2 hours, after which time it should be either refrigerated or reheated. If the ambient temperature is very warm, cut that to 1 hour.

5 to 60 degrees Celsius, although within the danger zone around 29C is where bacteria are most active. Foods that are at risk should be cooled through the danger zone within two hours, and foods that are re-heated should be heated to 74C to kill any bacteria before being held at 60C. The faster foods are heated and cooled through the danger zone the less chance there is of becoming sick. As well some types of food poisoning are from the toxins that bacteria produce and will not be destroyed by heat.

Allow hot foods to cool slightly uncovered before refrigerating. Leave them uncovered in the fridge until quite cool.

Very hot foods placed in a refrigerator will adversely affect other foods stored there, and will take longer to cool because the interior of the fridge will have become warmer.
Why should you cool down foods before eating them?
A lot of the recommended cooling of foods is largely unnecessary. But turkey and other meats shred if cut while they're still hot. Other foods will burn your mouth if eaten while hot, especially for children or elderly. Common sense becomes the issue. But too many do not have it, and should let foods cool. === === Cooling down foods stops the cooking process. If you don't, it can overcook because the inside temperature may still be at 400 degrees. Certain pies and custards are cooled quickly because of this. Other foods are allowed to cool before eating like cheese wraps and pot pies because the inside temperature can be hot enough to not only burn your skin, but liquify it.
