To cool chili con carne or any other hot food for storage in a fridge, you should place the chili in several small containers, and place them directly in the fridge. That you should leave it out to cool at room temperature is a common misconception; that will actually allow bacteria to grow quicker than if the hot food was placed directly in the fridge or freezer.
