Lesson learned when I poisoned the entire family with post Thanksgiving turkey soup.
I placed a still simmering 8 qt stockpot into the refrigerator to cool after removing the turkey carcass and found it still luke warm the following morning along with warm orange juice, milk, pickles, you get the picture. Small house one bathroom was 48 hours of pure hell.
So now I take zero chances. Zero
Soups, sauces, stocks, etc come off the stove and immediately are transferred into a chilled stock pot. That pot is immersed into a large sink already filled with cold water and at least 7 to 10 lbs of ice cubes. The ice bath is stirred while the hot liquid is constantly stirred to maximize the heat transfer. Goal is to get the liquid down to 50 degrees as quickly as possible (10 minutes). I use an instant read thermometer to verify (remember zero chances)!

There's the mistake.

Well there's your problem
>>8488222
Never, ever, had this problem.
Thankfully myself nor my kin have bitch guts. Maybe if I worked in an assisted living center...
'Superfood'...yeah, fuck you all
>Let me just place several gallons of 300 degree liquid directly in the fridge
You're lucky you didn't destroy the fridge too.

>300 degree liquid
You should go back to school.
jack, is that you?
>put something hot into enclosed space
>enclosed space heats up
Woooooow

How about you let the soup cool down to room temperature before transferring it into your fridge? You've just swung from one retarded extreme (simmering hot soup in fridge) to the other.

this.
i make turkey bone gumbo every year after the holidays.
just pour the sifted stock out of the hot pot into some tupperware or something and leave it on the counter to cool. it won't take but a few hours.
then put it in the fridge overnight.
you don't have to do all this ice bath nonsense.

This anon. Thats all you need to do. This also applies to anything you plan on refrigerating. I make chicken or pork the morning on work, and just give myself an extra 15 minutes to let the food sit in the tupperware before i seal it up and throw it in my lunch bag. By the time it hits the fridge at work it's been at room temp a while
>>8488222
It's winter. Just put the pot outside with a lid on.

You just didn't re-heat properly. If you had got it hot enough for long enough the bacteria would have of died.
I chill stocks, soups etc.. in a sink similar to you, don't bother with the ice though.

this... momentary we have -7°c here colder then any fridge
remember me when I made icecream in alaska in winter ...

You're wrong. At that point it doesn't matter if you kill the bacteria, what you're worried about is the toxins they've already produced and which will NOT denature or disappear when heated.
For example, the emetic toxin produced by the bacteria that contaminates cooked rice will survive temps of 121 degrees centigrade for 90 minutes.
