In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you store warm food in the fridge/freezer, the surrounding food will begin to thaw and spoil. Your food also won't cool evenly. At the same time, you need to cool it quickly, or your food will become a breeding ground for bacteria. If you plan on storing your food in the fridge/freezer, it must reach 40F (4C) first. According to food safety specialists, the "danger zone" for food is between 140F and 40 F (60C and 4C). Bacteria grows and breeds at these temperatures. Food should not remain in the "danger zone" for more than two hours. Once the food has reached 40F (4C) it is safe to be stored in the fridge/freezer. Try to have a fan on or a window open. This will help stir the air, and move the hot air away from the cooling food. If you have a free-standing fan, point it at the food you want to chill. The pan should be about 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) tall, and the food inside should be no more than 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) deep. Stir the food often to help release heat. Keep the pan loosely covered when you are not stirring the food to prevent contamination. This method is also good for liquids, such as soups and sauces. Try to use metal containers, such as stainless steel, instead of plastic or glass. They will cool down. If you can't find any shallow containers, then spread the food in a thin, 2 inch (5.08 centimeters) deep layer across the bottom of a larger container. Fill a sink with ice and some cold water to make a "slush." Place the pot with food in it into the sink. The food should be level with the icy water. Stir the food every 10 to 15 minutes. This helps it cool more evenly. Check the temperature of the food with a meat thermometer. When the food reaches 40F (4C) you can store it in the fridge/freezer. The ice will melt over time. When this happens, pour out the excess water and add more ice. If the food is taking too long to cool, separate it into smaller containers. These are what commercial kitchens use for cooling soups and similar food items. They are plastic paddles that are filled with water, and then frozen. Simply stir your soup with the ice or cooling paddle until it reaches the required temperature. The benefit to using ice or cooling paddles is that you won't dilute the flavor or texture of your soup. Consider wearing a glove or oven mitt to protect your hand from the cold paddle. This can be combined with an ice bath for even faster chilling. Follow the original recipe, but use less water. Towards the end of the cooking process, add some ice. Make sure that the amount of ice you are using makes up for the amount of water you reduced. You can plop in a few ice cubes after you have finished your sauce or soup instead, but the ice will add more water to your food once it melts, and dilute the flavor. This is ideal for things like meat, but can also be used for other items, such as lasagna and enchiladas. If you are going to freeze any of these items, you will likely to cut them down into small portions to make defrosting and reheating easier. Try to cut these foods down into individual-sized portions. They will cool down much faster.
Summary: Cool your food quickly before storing it in the fridge or freezer. Keep the air flowing. Keep thick foods, such as refried beans and stews, in loosely-covered, shallow pans or pots. Try an ice bath for soups. Try an ice paddle or a cooling paddle. Use some ice instead of water in your recipe. Cut solid food down into smaller portions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the most effective ways to find a tutoring job is to rely on word of mouth. Each time you work with a student, ask the student and his or her parents if they would be willing to tell friends and family about your tutoring services. If they are happy with your work, you will probably receive many referrals. You can also ask the student or his or her parents if they would be willing to serve as a reference. This way, when you market your tutoring to someone else, you can provide the potential client with a list of references they can contact to learn about the quality of your teaching skills and methods. Do not include clients' contact information unless they provide their consent. Reaching out to teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, sports coaches, and advisors is a great way to promote your tutoring services. If you make a good impression, these individuals can refer students in need. For example, if you specialize in teaching elementary school students to read, contact the elementary school teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, or advisors in your area. An introductory email with a copy of your references and resume is a good way to start the dialogue if you do not know the people you are contacting. Since many schools have strict visitor policies, it is best not to drop by unannounced. If you are hoping to find tutoring positions in your community, events such as festivals, fairs, and parades offer important networking opportunities. If there are school-sponsored events open to the public, try to visit these since there will likely be many students and families in attendance who may be interested in your tutoring services. Sporting events, for example, are often open to the public. Offer to make a presentation at a school or community event such as a PTA meeting or service club. Make sure you bring some of your business cards, flyers, and brochures to these events so you can promote your services if the subject comes up in conversation. Posting flyers and handing out business cards promoting your tutoring services will help you find tutoring jobs. As a precaution, ask permission before posting your materials, but here are some ideas for ideal locations in your community: Your neighborhood. School bus stops. Sporting arenas or fields. Public parks. Community bulletin boards. Public libraries. School bulletin boards or hallways. Coffee shops. Bookstores. Stores and restaurants close to schools or campuses. If you are planning to work independently as a tutor instead of working for a company, learning center, or school, you may want to create a website to advertise your tutoring services. A website will help you seem more established and professional, and you will likely receive job requests. Be sure to include your resume, contact information, a list of subjects you are prepared to tutor, and testimonials from past or current clients. Use social media accounts to spread the word about your tutoring services and recruit new clients. Remember, if you are hoping to find tutoring jobs, you need to keep the content of your accounts and posts professional and focused on tutoring. If you are hoping to tutor privately, consider advertising tutoring discounts, contests, or specials using social media. This should help attract new clients and promote your tutoring services.
Summary: Rely on word of mouth. Contact teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, sports coaches, and advisors. Attend community events. Post flyers and hand out business cards. Create a website. Use social media.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Get a standard liquid measuring cup that has a pouring spout and at least 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) of space above the red measuring lines. These features will make pouring easier and spilling less likely. When pouring liquid into the measuring cup, bend down and look at it straight on instead of down at an angle so that your measurement is accurate. You can also purchase an angled measuring cup, which allows you to get an accurate measurement without bending down. Look down into the angled measuring cup as you pour in order to ensure that you measure the right amount. To measure small amounts of liquid, use standard measuring spoons. Hold the spoon level in the air straight across from your eyes. Carefully trickle the liquid into the measuring spoon until it reaches the rim. When you pour liquid into your measuring cup, the liquid will appear higher near the glass walls of the cup than towards the middle. The surface of the liquid is called the meniscus. Pour liquid in until the bottom of the meniscus is perfectly level with the graduation line.
Summary:
Bend down to get eye level with standard measuring cups and pour. Look down into angled measuring cups as you pour. Bring measuring spoons up to eye level and pour. Stop when the meniscus is at the bottom of the line.
