I've seen folks do dumb things, like leaving food out all day at cookouts or on the stove. Everyone needs to be aware of how critical this is. Thanks for telling people about food safety.

I'd much rather share left-overs than eventually have to toss.

The heated food can raise the interior temperature and force your refrigerator to work overtime to cool down again. It can also take several days for the food to cool, making the temperatures perfect for bacteria to grow. Several days for food to cool?????? What kind of refrigerator are you using???? Suggest you consult a refrigerator manufacturer and find out cooling rates. I think you'll find that a 5 lb. roast at 100 degrees will cool down to 40 degrees in about 40 minutes!
