Help settle an argument with my wife? Opinions needed!

Well, nothing says, "I love you," more than a pearl necklace around your wife's neck.

 

I was told by a scientist type you want meat to cool prior to put it in the fridge.

 

Don't know if this is one worth fighting, but you are sooooo right!!!!!
Its been a while since being in the food industry, but there is a range of temperature (approx. room temp.) that food is most susceptable bacteria and spoil, the less time it is in that zone the fresher and less likely it will be contaminated. Most perishable foods need to but either hot or cold, not in between.

 

^^^^^Well said!
The longer you leave food out the more likely it will develop bacteria on it that can cause you or your wife to have a food born illness. I use to work
for a food safety company. If I remember correctly, the sooner you get food in the fridge, the better.

 

x2. It doesnt matter how many people agree with you, they are all wrong too. Your wife is "right" no matter how wrong she is

 

x2, Bro' even though on the logic side your right but in the bigger picture , YOU,ME, THEM (TW members) are wrong !!! You don't want to go back to dating your fist , right ?

 

Yup, thats why I said this might not be worth fighting. There is only one loser here either way, and it is him.

 

Being an enthusiastic "jeweler", I have to agree with this...........on the food note I say compromise, ooo I'm a marriage counselor too. Leave it out long enough to cool a bit but put it in the fridge before it reaches room temp & before it's forgotten. If you put it up hot then it will condensate and depending on what it is, could be kinda weird come leftover time..........so you're both wrong.

 

Yep. She's right. You're wrong. It's a fact of married life.

 

Working with in the food industry what you would do is throw the food in the fridge but make sure it is in a breathable container to help dissipate the heat and keep moisture from forming.

 

This is so true, no matter what you are always going to be wrong my friend.

 

I am a scientist type...and thermodynamically speaking, you and your wife have already used up more energy fighting about this topic than the energy required for the fridge to cool the hot food.

My 2 cents...

1) Never argue with a wife
2) Just put the stinking food in the fridge and forget about it.

 

Who's doing the cooking??

The person who's in charge of cooking the item WINS.

Let the cook be the cook and do it however they want. Besides that, who really cares? You're suppose to eat the food long before anything has a chance to grow!!

Toku, what's up?

Does it really matter? Even if she is wrong she's right.... Part of being married, you are always wrong and she is always right.

 

That's the idea behind pasteurization. You bring hot items rapidly down to cool temperatures to kill the bacteria because they cannot handle the rapid change in temperature.



You're still wrong though because you have a penis.
Better to give up now...

 

There must be a How its Made episode of flash-frozen food. You may be wrong by default according to the infallible laws of the ball and chain, but the TV is always right.

 

You guys are so right!LOL!
I've been with her for almost 12 years, and I will agree! No matter what; I am NEVER right!

I'm just getting tired of having stomach pains, and borderline food poisoning!

Oh well I knew my wife would eventually kill me!

And she wonders why I don't take leftovers for lunch.

 

Do you know why?

Isn't room temp relative? What about people who live in Alaska? Do they have a higher risk of food spoiling??
The minute they take it off the stove, it's like they're in a refrigerator.

 

Well when she insists on getting the results from this Man Poll you got to tell her the consensus is clearly she's right.

Word from the wise. Next time just do it and the issue would have never came up. Food would have been in the fridge and you could have still said "Yes Dear" when she chastised you for putting it in too early. It's not like she is likely to take it back out of the fridge when you have already admitted your error.

Now walk to the end of your chain and bark.
