You’re right, LeeAnn – that will be a great science lesson as they get to that stage. Eldest is almost there, but Helvi’s got a ways to go.

Thanks for stopping by, ladies, glad you liked it!

Great idea! I’d been using the fridge already, but now I’ll use it to chill the plate, too. Thanks. :)

This is great tip. I used to do this when my childfen were very young. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, ladies.

Amy, no; I only fridge them and the food is pretty warm but not searing hot. I wouldn’t do this with something fried, for example.

And most of my dishes are tempered glass (not those bowls, I think). But you make a good point. I’ll amend my post tonight.

Have you ever had problems putting hot food in a chilled glass bowl? I’d be afraid the bowl might crack.

My kids are older now, but that is a great tip! My husband always taught the kids to spread the food out on the plate as well- something about it cooling faster when there is more surface area…
