How to cool down leftovers fast before getting it into the refrigerator.
are commonplace in professional kitchens and are essentially little more than giant refillable tubes made from food-grade plastic. They get filled with water, capped, and frozen, and then can be placed in a vessel of hot food to speed up the cooling-down process.
At home I obviously don’t have a need for something quite so large, but I can accomplish the same thing with cleanI’ve filled with water and frozen. I try to keep a few of these bad boys stashed in the freezer so that they’re always ready to go, and then all I have to do is plop one directly into a big pot of soup and stir it around occasionally while I tidy up the kitchen. After 45 minutes or so the food in question is no longer piping hot and I can let the fridge do the rest of the work.
And while this use-case might seem a bit rare, I find that having quart-size blocks of ice in the fridge can be useful in other ways too. I basically always forget to makeuntil I’m jonesing for a cocktail, so I often use one of these DIY ice paddles to cool it down rapidly before adding it to a batch of margaritas.
See for yourself: Stash an ice paddle or two in your freezer and you’ll be surprised how often they come in handy.
