Why do people leave hot leftovers or soup out to cool before storing in the fridge?
Answers:
Because putting hot or warm food into the fridge will raise the temperature of the refrigerator and the surrounding food. By letting the food cool first, you are less likely to disrupt the internal temperature and less likely to compromise the food already in your fridge.
