You should make sure that the pot has cooled. Otherwise the hot pot might not be safe to put in the fridge. Otherwise the Teflon pot will not harm your fridge.

I think you are completely missing the gist of the question....they want to know if its safe to store food in the teflon pot...in other words they want to make sure the teflon, or metal from the pot will not leach into the food, as it WILL with aluminum pots
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
no
That depends on the type of pan (stainless, aluminum, etc.) and the type of food (acid, not acid). If the pan is stainless steel, then any kind of food could be stored in it. If the pan is anything else, I'd make sure the food isn't acid, like Jello or spaghetti sauce.
put it on eBay
they used pots to put wine in
yes
Yes
metal pots
but you just put the water in the refrigerator
Water Turns To Ice Melted butter put back to refrigerator melted chocolate put back to the refrigerator melted ice cream put back to refrigerator
Unfortunately, whatever you do to it might not make it safe to eat. Some bacteria produce toxins that are not destroyed by heating. And you don't know if rinsing would get everything.
My personal rule is, never put anything hot in a refrigerator. Let is cool first.
