The larger the quantity of liquid, the more time it will take to cool completely. If you can, try to split large batches into two or more smaller batches.
To cool very small batches of items such as custard sauce, lemon curd, or leftover stew, place the container in a large bowl or tub filled with equal quantities of ice and cold water. Remember to stir the contents of the container as it cools. Stabilize the container, so that water does not splash inside and so the container will not tip over.
