Is it safe to put hot pasta in the freezer to cool it off?!
Im trying to make a cold pasta and am anxious to get to cool, it just got done boiling...im not sure if its safe?? thanks!
Answers:
Safe, yes, but unnecessary. Just run it under cold water, drain and use. This will cool it much faster, and much more evenly. If you put it in the freezer, the middle will still be hot while the outside is icy.
It's not unsafe. I usually just rinse in very cold water and put in the fridge before making pasta salad
