Keeping hot dishes fresh in the refrigerator mainly uses low temperature to inhibit the growth of bacteria, rather than killing bacteria. Food may contain pathogenic bacteria. Heating and cooking can kill many bacteria, but not all of them.
If it is stored directly in the refrigerator while it is hot, the bacteria content in the food will naturally be less, so it is suggested that the hot dishes should be sealed and put directly in the refrigerator.
Putting hot dishes in the refrigerator will increase the burden on the refrigerator and consume more electricity. If it is not sealed and put into the refrigerator, a large amount of water vapor will evaporate and then condense on the condenser tube of the refrigerator, which will affect the operation of the refrigerator to varying degrees.

Matters needing attention in refrigerator use
1, don't open and close the refrigerator door frequently, it will let hot air enter the refrigerator continuously, which requires the refrigerator compressor to run many times and consumes a lot of power. So when cooking, you can get all the ingredients at once and reduce the number of times the refrigerator is opened.
2. Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and avoid direct sunlight and ventilated places. Putting it with overheated things will increase power consumption because of rising temperature. When the refrigerator is placed, finally, it is necessary to leave places on the left and right sides and the back to facilitate heat dissipation.
Don't put too much or too little food in the refrigerator. Generally, seven or eight minutes is the most labor-saving. Square packaged food should not be filled, because there should be a certain gap between the stored foods to facilitate air circulation.
