how long can you leave soup out before refrigerating
I cool my soup 1-2 hours, uncovered, on the counter before refrigerating, and I haven't had any problems. I also put a cork trivet or flat hot pad/oven glove on the glass fridge shelf before putting the pot on it.Reply. cool my soup 1-2 hours, uncovered, on the counter before refrigerating, and I haven't had any problems.
