I was watching Blur's new music video, which includes a recipe for ice cream with instructions in Chinese. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp1ks7PTzng) At 3:03, the recipe says '将奶黄放入一个大，浅且可置于冷冻库的容器'. I don't really understand how to translate this part.
Also, how would you translate ‘即可离火'? This is in the recipe at 2:59. Does it mean something like 'immediately take away from the heat?'
Many thanks.
将奶黄放入一个大，浅且可置于冷冻库的容器 means 'put the custard into a huge, shallow container (and) which can be put into a freezer'.
So here 且 means and(而且).
Another useage 且 means 'just', such as 且行且珍惜(just cherish what you have at the moment) here 且 means just.
即可(离火) means you can do something when something happen as soon as possbile.
Such as: 1. 当油热了，即可离火 (When the oil is hot, you can turn off fire right now[She suggest you do it right now]). 2. 开袋即食 (Open the bag, you can eat it)
即 has a meaning of you can do something with a hint do it now(as soon as possible).
It doesn't help that the comma is wrong. It should be:
...大、浅且可以...的容器
Place it in a large, shallow and (且) able to be...container.
For your first question, 且 means and. There are many good answers above.
For your second question, 即可离火, it means as long as .... you can take it away from heat. 即 indicates when some condition reaches, you should/can do something. It may vary in different situations. I just watched the Youtube video and I think it means "as long as you can scratch a clear path on the surface of the custard, you should take it away from the heat".
Here 且 = "and".
Here 即 means "就" as an adverb. "即可离火" means "Then (即) okay （可) to take away from heat."
