Today, I put very hot food in the refrigerator, and was reprimanded by my mother. Why can't the too hot food be put in the refrigerator?

    This is because the food cannot be put into the refrigerator when it is too hot, otherwise it will cause damage to the refrigerator, and it is easy to cause the surrounding food to breed bacteria because of the increase in temperature. Warm foods are best left to cool before putting them in the refrigerator. When refrigerating a large box of warm food, you can add some ice cubes or divide it into several smaller portions for storage.
