Why did the ricotta not melt in the lasagna?
You have to cook it then let it cool completely so that it gets firm. When you are ready to serve it only heat it to 140 degrees, that way it is hot enough to eat but not hot enough to melt. I make my lasagna a day before then keep it in the fridge until we are ready to eat it.
Can you put warm bacon and egg pie in the fridge?
Putting warm food in the fridge always carries with it the possibility of creating a "warm pocket." Depending on the size of the dish the center may not cool as fast as the outer portions, leaving a warm center in which bacteria has time to grow before it becomes cool. To err on the side of caution, always cool a dish down to room temperature or place in smaller containers before refrigerating.
