Answer 1

The incorrect method for cooling food is 'After a meal put leftovers in a deep container so the food cools down more slowly', as it can lead to unsafe temperatures that promote bacterial growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you've asked is related to the safe handling and cooling of food to prevent bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses. In this scenario, the term that best matches the description given for a way not to cool food is 'After a meal put leftovers in a deep container so the food cools down more slowly'. This method is contrary to safe food handling practices as it allows the food to remain at temperatures that can promote bacterial growth for an extended period.

Conversely, putting cold foods away immediately after purchasing, nesting a bowl of cold food in a larger bowl of ice during a picnic, and transferring cold foods directly from the refrigerator to the cooler when going out are all effective ways to maintain the appropriate temperature and keep the food safe.
