As long as your refrigerator is normal, you can put hot dishes directly in the refrigerator. But don't forget, you have to seal the food first, and plastic wrap sealing is actually enough. Some people may feel bad about the electricity bill, but compared with health, this electricity bill is negligible.
When hot dishes are not sealed, a large amount of water vapor will directly evaporate in the refrigerator and then condense on the condenser tube of the refrigerator, thus producing frost and affecting the normal operation of the refrigerator.
In fact, in life, many people don't like to seal their dishes in the refrigerator, whether it is hot or cold. But this is a very bad habit, because there are also some "difficult" bacteria in the refrigerator, which will directly infect food, and once people eat it, it is likely to be harmful to their health.
The harm of putting hot dishes in the refrigerator when they are cold.
If the hot dish is cooled and then put into the refrigerator, it will often provide time for the growth of bacteria. Generally speaking, when the food drops below 60℃, bacteria begin to grow; When the temperature drops to 30℃ ~ 40℃, bacteria will multiply wildly. Only when the temperature drops below 7℃ will the bacteria enter a "dormant" state. And normal meals, we usually put them in the freezer.
Its temperature is generally around 5℃, which can naturally inhibit the growth of bacteria. In other words, from a health point of view, hot dishes should really be put directly in the refrigerator.
