Detailed explanation-1: -Perishable foods should be put in a refrigerator that is 40 degrees or below within 2 hours of preparation. If you leave food out to cool and forget about it after 2 hours, throw it away.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cooling. It is important to cool food as quickly as possible in order to prevent the growth of bacteria. Ideally this should be cooled to less than 8 degrees Celcius within 90 minutes. Food can be cooled quickly by a variety of methods.
Detailed explanation-3: -#4 DON’T Freeze Hot Food Food should be completely cooled before freezing – actually, it is even better if you allow it to fully cool down in the fridge first and then freeze.
