If you don't eat it, refrigerate It

If you're not going to eat food right away, divide hot food into small portions in shallow containers and refrigerate them.

Bacteria multiply at temperatures between 40 and about 140 degrees, and food left in that range for more than about two hours is no longer safe to eat.
