Cooling - 613 cooking recipes

Refrigeration is not a cooking method per se, but in some unknown way, it helps a number of foods taste better than if they were eaten hot. This includes entire categories of recipes: cakes, pastries, salads, and some soups.

Cooling

Some types of sauces are recommended to be served chilled. Certain types of dishes, especially those made from jelly, take their final form only through cooling. Other dishes will not last even an hour if they are not kept cold. Third dishes cannot be prepared without the important cooling step, such as ice cream.
