Putting a casserole outside on a cold day is not the quickest way to cool down.
You need good thermal contact to do a good job. The best way I've found is to
fill the sink with cold water and sit the casserole in there. (Of course be
careful not to let the water get in.) This gives good thermal contact and is
about the best you can do.
