In fact, the sooner you get cooked foods into the cold fridge, the sooner any harmful bacteria persent will stop multiplying. In the old days, when people had "ice boxes," cooks let foods cool on a shelf because hot foods would melt the expensive ice. But today's refrigerators are designed for cooling and you won't overtax the motor. According to the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline, the best way to cool foods is to seperate them into shallow containers and put them into the refrigerator immediately. And he sure to leave space between the containers so that cold air will circulate around them.
