Cooled Invalid

Cooled ingredients, whether it's cooled broth, cooled sauces, or cooled cooked vegetables, refer to food items that have been brought down to a lower temperature after being heated. This cooling process often enhances flavors, improves texture (think firmer gelatin or crisper chilled vegetables), and makes them safer to handle. The appearance will vary based on the ingredient itself, but generally, cooled items will have reduced steam or condensation and be more stable in form. The temperature range generally falls within refrigerated or cool room temperatures.
