THE FACTS What to do with leftovers? One common bromide is that leftovers stored in the refrigerator must be allowed to cool first at room temperature. The reasoning behind the claim varies. One theory is that allowing food to cool at a slower rate reduces the likelihood that it will spoil.
Faster cooling times limit the time when these bacteria are able to grow or form toxins. The standards require food to be cooled from 60Â°C to 21Â°C in a maximum of two hours and from 21Â°C to 5Â°C within a further maximum period of four hours. Alternatively, if you want to cool food over a longer time period you must be able to show that you have a safe alternative system in place. If you donât know how fast your food is cooling, use a probe thermometer to measure the warmest part of the food â usually in the centre. For information on the use of thermometers, see the fact sheet âThermometers and using them with potentially hazardous foodâ.
