Yes, otherwise you might warm up the fridge too much.
Yes. The meringue has to set.
Let it get to room temperature before you put it in the refrigerator. It doesn't take that much longer to cool and if you put it in the fridge hot it will get everything in there warmer.
Homemade pumpkin soup can typically stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days if stored properly in an airtight container. Make sure to cool the soup completely before refrigerating to prolong its shelf life.
You should cool food down at least to room temp before freezing.The faster you cool cooked food the less likely bacteria will have to form on it. Putting it in an ice bath is the correct way to cool food before refrigerating or freezing it.
well obviously it depends how long they are left out, but if it is just to cool down then it's 100% fine...
Putting warm food in the fridge always carries with it the possibility of creating a "warm pocket." Depending on the size of the dish the center may not cool as fast as the outer portions, leaving a warm center in which bacteria has time to grow before it becomes cool. To err on the side of caution, always cool a dish down to room temperature or place in smaller containers before refrigerating.
Food that needs refrigeration should be cooled as rapidly as possible and held at that temperature. Shallow containers allow food to cool quickly, lowering the chances for bacteria to grow.
A pound cake needs to cool to room temperature before adding glaze.
pumpkin pie
No. Serve it at cool room temperature.
I don't actually know but I love halloween in 2013 i made a trowing up pumpkin with my dad it was epically cool
I'm not sure but i think it's to insulate the cool air so it doesn't get out and make the food inside go off. The insulation efficiency of rigid polyurethane to keep the low temperature preservation of food . It is ideal for the insulation of refrigerating appliances.
