Rechill

Rechill refers to the act of cooling something down again after it has already been cooled or has warmed up. This term is often used in informal contexts, particularly when discussing food and beverages. For instance, if a drink has been left out and is no longer cold, someone might say they need to "rechill" it by placing it back in the refrigerator. Similarly, leftovers that have been heated and then cooled can be "rechilled" before being eaten cold or reheated again. The concept implies a reversal of a warming process, returning an item to a cooler state. It is a straightforward action, distinct from initial chilling or freezing. The effectiveness of rechilling depends on the item and the duration it has been at a higher temperature.
