Truth or myth?
i heard about this a log time ago and was wandering if there's any truth
to it. you can't store an open canned product in the refrigerator... something to do with the metal in the can. also i heard you can't store something in the refrigerator while it's hot...it has to cool down first. Scott |

I would never let some things cool to room temp before refrigerating, especially meat. Unless you are stuffing the refrigerator with hot food all at once, an occasional hot dish isn't going to hurt any food already there. I think cooling for half an hour is about as long as I wait. My son who was a sous chef for a while says never to tightly cover hot potatoes and put them in the fridge; if you want to put them in while they are hot, then leave the cover off. I don't know why - something about potatoes being particularly touchy. N. |

Oh, I only got really sick once from something I ate, I don't wish that on anyone. Personally, I just put whatever it is into the refrigerator because if I walk away, I will forget. My motto seems to be Out of sight, out of mind. Sad, but true. Heh. I'm not as careful as I should be all the time. nancy |

If you cover them they will tend to keep on cooking (steaming) much more than you want. Actually for small amounts it might not be that important but in a professional kitchen with large volumes it could be very nasty. I usually put things in the fridge immediately but it does not really make much difference as far as I can see though I do believe it is probably a good idea to put cooked meats in the fridge with 24 hours. :) John Kane, Kingston ON Canada |

I think this is true. I just checked a couple of cans and it does say "once opened, transfer any unused contents to a non-metallic container" I have heard that this is due to the metal reacting with the food and air, thus getting into the food. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to me directly: Replace privacy.net with: totalise DOT co DOT uk and replace me with gareth.harris |

Don’t store food in an opened tin can, or re-use empty cans to cook or store food. This is because when a can has been opened and the food is open to the air, the tin may transfer more quickly to the can’s contents.

People buy large cans of V-8 juice, grapefruit juice, etc. and leave the contents in the original container all the time. Usually if something is stored in the original can and it starts to get moldy or the can starts to get rusty then it's probably been in the refrigerator too long to begin with. I also put hot food in the refrigerator. The idea is to cool the food off as quickly as possible and it's going to cool off a lot faster in the refrigerator than just sitting out on the counter. The refrigerator has to work a little harder to pull the heat out but that's what it's there for. Within an hour or two the hot food is cold and with no adverse effects to the the food that's already in there. |

They're inexpensive, washable, make a pretty good seal even when you don't process them, and quite inert. You can even pour hot stuff into them. (Although old ones a prone to shatter from thermo changes because they get little nicks and cracks in them). Not ideal for every application, but pretty versatile. Cindy Hamilton |

It had nothing to do with the test? That is why you wrote that you got a lot of good responses to the milk in meatloaf thread and so you would be able to complete the test on time? And I quote: "got about about 50 more lessons to go before i take my test. the material is getting more difficult. i'll be finish with the 1st section in 6 lessons. i got a really good discussion going with my 'milk in meatloaf' question on the cooking forum." I see no mention of cooking said meatloaf for anyone, just a question and I quote: "why do some meatloaf recipes call for milk? What's the difference between using milk and water?" You were probably told meatloaf doesn't require milk or water, I have no idea because it was a ridiculous topic in and of itself. And by the way, capital letters are not a crime, in fact, in real life they are pretty much a requirement. You aren't texting someone about the girl sitting across the food court. Your future employer isn't likely to think you're cute by excluding capital letters in correspondence. He/she also won't think it's cute to know you fudged on your exams by soliciting assistance from strangers.... why don't you just ask someone older than you whom you trust for help if you need it? Better yet, go to the library and check out some books. I have no idea what "degree" you're going for but if you can't cook now, you won't be able to cook by cheating on your exams. Sorry, sad truth.

Your hot food might be a quart of soup. Someone else's might be 9 pounds of hot turkey meat or a huge pot of soup. Your quart of soup won't heat up the other food in the refrigerator as much as the pile of hot turkey meat. Sadly, this whole thing revolves around common sense. Sad because there's very little of that around these days. |

Not bacterium... but the food may interact with the metal to cause an electrolytic action that will give the food terrible metalic taste. Of course if the opened tin of food is left long enough to rot then there can be food poisoning from bacteria as well. It's a good idea to transfer food to covered nonreactive containers but still there are time limits regardless. |
