cool them to room temperature first

Explanation:

When refrigerating or freezing cooked leftovers, dividing into small portions and placing in shallow containers allows for faster cooling. This reduces the time food spends in the temperature - danger zone (40°F - 140°F or 4.4°C - 60°C), where bacteria can multiply rapidly. Putting them straight in the fridge/freezer (without proper portioning and container choice) may not cool evenly. Waiting until they stop steaming (which may take too long in the danger zone) and cooling to room temperature (also spending too much time in the danger zone) are not safe practices.

Answer:

placed in shallow containers before being refrigerated
