prechilling

Refrigerating in advance

Prechilling is cooling something before a main process or use, typically in food preparation or horticulture.

Seeds may require prechilling to simulate winter dormancy before germination, and recipes sometimes call for prechilling ingredients or equipment to achieve better results.

Prechilling the mixing bowl helps whipped cream form stiff peaks.

The practice ensures that temperature-sensitive processes begin under optimal conditions.
