Soaking overnight?

[CasanovaFrankenstein]

When it says soak rice, or dried peas etc, overnight - does this mean at room temperature or in the fridge?

I know it's cool at night now but how about in warm months?

Ta!

If it's hot, put it in the fridge. But most of the year in the UK, out on the kitchen counter is fine
