Just reading some stuff on Snopes, it appears that most of the reasons people believe you shouldn't put hot food into a fridge:

- Old days of non-frost free fridges when humidity was enemy #1
- Glass shelves breaking
- heating up other food into the bacteria zone
- wear on the motor

So, I would think something like sausages which would cool quickly would be better cooled in the fridge.
