It is better to only put hot food into a fridge after it has cooled. A lot of hot food would alter the coolness inside the fridge and cause the motor to start running when it didn't really need to.
No. I do not think so.
Of course you can. The food in the pot will not cause any harm to your refrigerator as long as the pot has cooled down. It's probably not safe to put the Teflon pot in the refrigerator if it scorching hot. That might not be safe. Mr. Know it all
Yes, from what I have heard and read. Moving hot food to a cold refrigerator can cause bacteria to form and grow rapidly. The food should be cooled to room temperature before refrigerating.
Food is cooled from surrounding air particles and so if a packet is obstructing the vibration of the particles the food will be unable to cool.
Food does spoil in the refrigerator. The growth of spoilage bacteria is slowed down due to the colder temperatures.
When you plug in your fridge, the electricity energises the freon in the copper piping, which then spreads all over the fridge cooling it down. The biggest pipes are at the top, which pushes cold air to the bottom. Doing so, the warm air is in turn pushed up and when it gets to the top, it is cooled by the pipes. The process is then repeated over and over and over. This is how the food is cooled in a fridge xxx
A large quantity of food must be cooled by immediate refrigeration. The refrigerator's temperature should be set as cold as possible and, if practicable, the food to be cooled should be refrigerated on shallow trays or dishes to allow for quick cooling. You could also put your trays of food into the freezer until cold, before covering or sealing and refrigerating.A large quantity of food must be cooled by immediate refrigeration.

you would have an upside down refrigerator, with a large mess of food, bottles, cans, etc. on your kitchen floor!
Food doesn't specifically have to be cooled in a certain time. Food must be covered once it has cooled however, so don't leave it out for more than a few hours. ANSWER: For safety reasons, food must be cooled within 4 hours, otherwise pathogens can grow and make the food unsafe to eat. Never leave any food out of the refrigerator for more than 4 hours as well, for the same reason.
To Keep food cold so it doesn't spoil. Also to keep things that are supposed to be cold cold. Also to keep foods that are supposed to be frozen frozen.
Keeping hot food in the refrigerator will make the food cold. It will not damage your refrigerator.
It keeps food fresh and cool...this means the activity of the bacteria is slowed down.
A refrigerator keeps food cool, typically around 4 degrees centigrade. This cool temperature inhibits the growth of bacteria and the food stays fresh for longer.
