Transfer hot food to small, shallow containers before refrigeration. This helps food cool quickly in the fridge. To speed up the cooling process for large pots of food, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir occasionally. Cover and refrigerate within 30 minutes once itâs cooled. Remove stuffing from stuffed poultry or meats and refrigerate it in a separate container.
Cooling Large Portions. Large portions of food, especially big pots of soups or stews, can be difficult to cool quickly. An ice water bath can speed the process dramatically. Plug the sink and place a saucer in the bottom, then rest the pot on the saucer. This raises one side, so water can circulate underneath. Fill the sink with ice and then run water at least halfway up the side of the pot. Stir frequently to transfer heat from the pot. A second method is to divide the large pot of soup or stew into smaller, flat containers that will cool more quickly.
