Hello niggas, I have a cake in the oven. How long do I wait before icing it? Will putting it in the fridge or freezer help to cut time?

>> No.4342905

you want the cake to completely cool off before icing

putting the warm cake in the fridge could help cut time but it will also cut the lifespan of your fridge

>> No.4342907

wait until its under room temp. putting int he fridge or freezer will help speed this up.

>> No.4342926

yeah dont ice the cake while it's still warm or the icing will melt and just be a sticky, runny mess. if you're in a hurry, i'd go fridge. freezer is probably unnecessary.

DO NOT PUT IN COLDBOX this will dry out the cake
just wait the goddamn 30 minutes for the cake to cool enough to frost

I don't know what he was thinking, but it will shorten the lifespan of his cake is what makes actual sense.

Its like you guys have never owned a fridge.

If you put something hot in the fridge, it creates a heat difference. The fridge senses this, and keeps running the motor trying to cool the thing down, but it would take about 20 minutes to cool the whole cake, wasting the motors life.

Your fridge and its motor is made to run. As long as you don't run it outside it's intended use, it won't wear down the motor. If you leave the door open all night, that may be a problem. Putting a warm cake in the fridge won't break it. You people have grown up with your parents bitching at you for standing there with the door open so you get your own fridge and act like it will explode if it does its job.

I forgot I'm on 4chan so I need to qualify

>it won't wear down the motor

Obviously the motor will eventually wear out from normal use. But we're talking wearing out from abnormal use. Cooling a cake is not abnormal use.

Do you guys even have an icemaker? The damn thing works by constantly cooling water until it freezes. Why aren't you worried about that wearing things down?

the point is, putting the cake in the fridge will dry out the cake

never put a hot item into a fridge, not because it will ruin the fridge (because it wont) but because it will fuck up the food item

>> No.4343593

just leave the cake on the side to cool, it doesn't take that long seriously.

Oh my god, I can't believe what I'm even reading, let alone that there are people trying to argue this.

>You people have grown up with your parents bitching at you for standing there with the door open so you get your own fridge and act like it will explode if it does its job.

A refrigerators job isn't to cool boiling food.

> Cooling a cake is not abnormal use.

No, but cooling a burning hot cake is. Would you put a boiling pot of water in your fridge? No. Would you put hot anything in your fridge? No. It sits out, gets room temp, then you refrigerate.

>> No.4343620

Often you want to cool food through the temperature range at which bacteria thrive as quickly as possible, so yes, you do want to put hot things in your refrigerator.
Motor and compressor wear is not a factor. Refrigerator compressors invariably outlive the cabinet because they operate in a completely isolated environment, usually in an oil bath. If you need a vacuum pump or small air compressor, the pump from any discarded refrigerator is likely still functional.

looks like it got a little dark, but I would eat it. 6.5/10. Peel off the weird skin and top with blueberry,peach, or strawberry preserves that have been warmed up over a stove and you are looking at 8/10

>> No.4344770

Let it cool all the way, coat it with a very thin layer of icing (crumb coat) and stick it in the fridge for a bit. Then ice properly.
