>>17718759no, none of that bothers me. i rarely cook until i've eaten everything i have, i have more than one of pretty much every cooking vessel but if i know i need it of course i'll take the food out of it in that case, i haven't noticed things being harder to clean if they have food in them longer and it's the same amount of work whether i transfer the food to a small container before putting it in the fridge or before reheating it. i pretty much only care about the space thing and only if the fridge is full.
and if it's soup, you don't stick the pot in the fridge even then?
