Need Gumbo Advice
Posted on 12/6/17 at 7:27 pm

Cooked about 4 gallons to bring to our office Open house tomorrow. It is still on the stove and warm.
Do I leave it out all night or try to refrigerate it and heat up in the morning? Will it go bad if put in fridge while warm?
TIA

If you divide some in smaller pots, they will cool faster so you can get it all in the fridge overnight.

Don't leave it out. Put the pot in the sink in an ice water bath. It will cool down enough to put in the fridge.

Put it outside while warm?

What about setting in chest freezer until cool? Same result?
Posted on 12/6/17 at 8:33 pm to novabill
It will help cool it down, but it will also heat up the chest freezer. Could thaw anything else in the freezer and would put undo strain on the freezer. If you can do the ice bath, that would be preferably.

Don't understand... if it's warm, and you want it cold, it's somehow got to get from warm to cold, so why can't you put a warm gumbo or anything else in a cold fridge/freezer/ice chest?
Posted on 12/6/17 at 9:20 pm to GusMcRae
1. Could heat up the fridge or freezer causing it to over stress to get temp back down
2. Could lead to food sitting in the danger temp zone and make you sick later.

Something about it going bad if put in fridge while warm. Just learned about ice bath.

As long as it's reheated to the proper temp this danger is eliminated.

No argument with that from me. I won't even eat leftover fish, but it's not because of a health hazard, it's because it's not as good.

Do what GG said. You have to put it into smaller containers so every bit of it will chill down. If you put it in warm in a big pot, the middle of the pot will be in the danger zone for hours.
If you think about your Tupperware or other storage containers, most are no thicker than about 4 inches. That's for this reason.

Put it in the fridge warm and stir every hour for 3 hours.
