hot food should be put into shallow container so heat can exit fast and food can cool rapidly. As soon as you can hold the pan without burning your fingers. Put it in the fridge uncovered (remember, no thick large batch, heat must be able to exit quickly)

This could cause damage or minor implosion to the package. If the container is glass, it could theoretically shatter if the food is hot enough, but that is very unlikely.

It depends on the food, but in the grocery store where I work we have to throw frozen meat out within three hours of losing power.
