npub168303eezkmd40tdp5kvpaapr5uky8s66u6uaexz5qr334ft77jrsvaf0qg (npub1683…f0qg) what constitutes “overloading a fridge”?
If the mechanism is removing heat from the hot food, then the fridge is doing its job.
How quickly heat goes in vs how quickly heat comes out is a balancing act.
But if you put five gallons of boiling water into an empty fridge / freezer and it cools it down to cold / frozen, did you overload the fridge? Nope. You just gave it a lot of work to do. It’s an appliance meant to do work.
It probably works more efficiently under load (lots of heat to remove) than maintaining cold temperature.
