Re: Hot food in the fridge?
Thanks all for confirming.A friend was helping me with a BBQ the other day and we had a debate as she thought it was a good idea to put the boiled baby potatoes on the fridge to cool down. I didn't feel this would be good for the other food and fridge but she was saying she does it all the time with no problems.
In the end she agreed with my suggestion of using cold water, which worked a treat.
But the discussion led to some googling which comes up with lots of contradictory advice. Some advice now is that you should put hot food into the fridge right away to prevent germs multiplying. But that just feels all wrong. Apparently it's common practice in some countries, including Canada.

My cooking tip or what it is worth is alway put the Christmas turkey sideways into an oven to cookWhy
Well if it explodes for some reason or other the stuffing won't fly out and damage or even smash the glass over door.
See bazza knows about these things. I's not as stupid as I am

Of course, you’re probably not putting huge vats of soup in your fridge, right? You can also ameliorate any potential issues by using airtight containers and making sure there’s space around the containers so that cool air can circulate freely.
The Right Way to Put Leftovers in the Fridge
Unless you are dealing with large quantities of very hot food, it’s best to put away leftovers while they are still fresh, and certainly within that two-hour window.
