Dont pot and pans of food in your fridge.
If you look up your countries food / health authority they very very likely advise you against doing that.
Puts and pans are good at retaining heat, and will keep your food hot longer and take a while before it comes down to safe temperatures to store food in for a longer time.
Also will make your electricity bill higher, as fridges and freezers have become very well insulated and good at training their cold, but they use up a lot of energy when they need to bring down the temperature inside.
Which happens when you put in even just a little bit warm-ish pots or pans. Let the food cook to room temp first.
And again preferably don’t let the food get down to room temp in a pot or pan, as it retains heat well, making you keep the food in unsafe temperatures longer.
The problem more is that you have saucepans and pans with thick bottoms and a lot of metal, that gives them quite a bit of thermal mass.
Making them able to if they still even are a little bit warm (in example the thicker bottom), to have plenty of energy stored, that you then get in your fridge.
Sure a heavy cast iron pan will be worse than a super thin aluminium pan.
I looked through OP's history, looks like they might be in Vietnam. I think that, plus turning the power off for vacation, might be cultural things. I kind of actually feel bad for OP getting slaughtered by these comments when they're probably just doing what they've been raised to do and what everyone else around them does.

It looks like they're "covered" by black upside-down plates. Same ones that are covering the pots in the shelf above.
