A large hot pan adds substantial heat and may be unsuitable for the freezer's surfaces or loading limits. Plan safe cooling and suitable portioned packaging first.
What the observation tells you
The outside becoming cold does not show that the centre cooled safely. It can also warm surrounding frozen items while creating local condensation or ice. Turning on a stronger freezing mode does not replace food-hygiene cooling guidance.
A useful next step
Follow official advice for cooling cooked food promptly and use freezer-suitable containers. Arrange the batch within the appliance's freezing capacity. Keep the preparation time and date clear rather than assuming freezing cancels earlier delays.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
