When you plug in your fridge, the electricity energises the freon in the copper piping, which then spreads all over the fridge cooling it down. The biggest pipes are at the top, which pushes cold air to the bottom. Doing so, the warm air is in turn pushed up and when it gets to the top, it is cooled by the pipes. The process is then repeated over and over and over. This is how the food is cooled in a fridge xxx

Should you refrigerate hot spaghetti sauce or let it cool first?
It has to cool down or the whole fridge will get warm. Supposedly, modern refrigerators can handle hot food without a negative impact on other food in the fridge. Personally, I would let the food cool so that it is no longer steaming before placing it in the fridge. The food should be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then chilled down to 40°F within another 4 hours. Either quick chill the food with an ice bath or separate it into smaller containers to facilitate faster cooling.

How do you cool chill con carne correctly?
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.
Can you refrigerate chicken when it is still warm?
It's not advised, putting a hot or warm chicken in a refrigerator will warm up the fridge and the other food in it, before the fridge has time to chill everthing down again, so the cooler it is the better. Actually, it is better to refrigerate it while still warm than to leave it out too long because you forgot about it. Separate the chicken into smaller portions so it can cool faster. And don't stack warm things in the fridge - that won't allow the food to cool off appropriately. Most refrigerators now days should be able to handle the warm food without affecting the other food in the fridge.
How would you cool cooked food not for immediate consumption?
To cool cooked food, not for immediate consumption, place cooked food in the refrigerator, uncovered and in shallow pans. Raw or cooked food temperatures must be maintained at below 40 f or above 140 f to prevent bacterial growth, which causes foodborne illnesses. Leaving food out to "cool down" increases the chance of bacterial growth. Do not leave food to cool down at room temperature. This is a common myth.
