around 10 to 20 minutes. you want to keep patting it with paper towels, this speeds up the cooling. if the meat is still considerably warm, don't put it in the fridge! 30 minutes max sitting out on the bench. if it is not cool enough in 30 minutes put it in the freezer for 5 minutes, then in the fridge. hope this helps!
