Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Place the hot food into smaller containers or cut large pieces of food into small pieces. As a side note, stainless steel transfers heat from foods faster than plastic. Then if your food is still hot or even very warm, place the containers in an ice water bath.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is very important to keep the food out of the temperature danger zone i.e., the range between 41˚F and 135˚F where any microbes in the food can multiply faster. This is not an issue when you are preparing food fresh and it is being served to the customer immediately while the internal temperature is >165oF.
