       So, I just made some fudge from a recipe that says to chill it once poured into a greased pan.Given feedback on the fridge video... do y'all just never ever do that in Europe? Because, yeah, the little red fridge would not handle that well at all but I got a lot of folks being like "well, duh, you just don't put warm things in the fridge, everybody knows that" in the comments.We don't know that because - get this - our fridges can usually just handle it!

       @TechConnectify yes, my mom taught me to wait for the soup leftovers to cool before putting the pot in the fridge. This could be one of those things that used to be true and just gets passed down as folk knowledge

       Like, yeah, you can go too far. Put a huge hot dish in there and it'll be overwhelmed.But... putting warm things in the fridge to chill is a thing I imagine nearly everyone does from time to time here, and recipes assume your fridge is up to it. Hell, even just, like, Jell-O assumes that's gonna be A-OK.It's been humorous discovering this apparent continental fridge difference! We like our fridges cold, fast, and uniform.

       @TechConnectify if we wanted to cool something down quickly, we'd just put it out on the balcony (which was usually below zero from mid-autumn to early spring). That would chill stuff down really quickly.

       @TechConnectify I suspect that one reason might be that most people don't keep track of whether their fridge stays at the appropriate temperature at all and therefore don't notice that it might get to warm, and also that the actual risk of that is relatively small so consequences are rare.

       @TechConnectify I also wonder whether a car dependent lifestyle that means you only do a big shop every fortnight or something like that might make a difference, since you would have to keep things in the fridge for longer. I live above a supermarket and rarely have things in my fridge for more than a few days.

       @captainchaos oh I absolutely think that our car-dependence and supermarkets built under that paradigm are the main reason our fridges are so huge.I think most of us do grocery shopping about weekly, and with a family of four you'll need a big fridge to hold all that stuff - plus, you'll need it to be able to quickly cool contents back down from the journey home
