Why call someone stupid just because you don't get something?

Who exactly puts a hot pot directly into a fridge?

Every Sunday, I simmer a huge pot of beans that have been soaking

I've put fairly warm stuff in the fridge but if I can't hold my hands

Yep, that's what us normal folks do. If it's hot enough to worry
about cracking the glass shelf, you just leave it alone until it cools
closer to room temp. At first I thought this might be related to
something very special that needs to cool faster. But beans? You
don't want to leave food in the danger zone for long periods, but
letting it cool for 30 mins or an hour is normal.
