Question

The best way to cool soft and thick foods (such as beans, sauce or chili) when using the refrigerator is?

Answer 1

Yeah, you can cool soft/thick foods by pouring food into a shallow metal pan. The food cannot be more than 4 inches deep. For very thick foods like refried beans or chowder, you must have the food no more than 3 inches deep. You can also cool soft/thick foods using an ice and water bath.
