Is it true that putting a warm item in the fridge will cause it to spoil?!
I bought a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for dinner later on tonight!. I wanted to stick it in the fridge until dinner time, but my husband is telling me his mother would tell him putting warm things in the fridge would cause them to spoil!. Any truth to this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

No truth to that one!! Her mother probably told her not to put warm things in the fridge! and for a reason!. Once upon a time refrigerators were not automatically frost free!. Putting anything warmer than room temperature added a layer of frost!. Defrosting was time consuming and aggravating!. Not to mention very very messy!. And you had to buy ice to cover the stuff that was frozen or chilled to keep it that way and stash it in wash tubs!.
Our grandmothers cooled things on the cabinet for a reason! Less work if you didn't put warm things in cold spaces!. And no, we didn't die of food poisoning either!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Not at all!.
I buy rotisserie chickens all the time!. I buy them two at a time!. The first one I leave out to cut up into diced chicken for making burritos and stuff!. The other one I put directly into the fridge while still warm!. I have never had one spoil on me, unless I didn't get to it for a week or so!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i never put warm food in the fridge!.
let your food cool to room temp!.
it causes the temp inside the fridge to rise and may make the food already inside spoil faster!.
and makes your fridge run more, wasting energy!.
ps!. i don't eat chickens
just thought i'd help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
