" My mother-in-law swears it&amp;#039;s okay to put hot food into the fridge, but I remember my grandmother telling me to let it cool first. Who&amp;#039;s right? -- Amy Langlois, Louisville, KY Your mother-in-law is right. It&amp;#039;s not a good idea to let perishable foods remain on the counter or table for more than two hours, say the experts at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If you prepare a hot dish in advance, place it in a shallow plastic or glass container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve, leaving enough time to reheat. And put those holiday leftovers away promptly. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
