I would not recommend freezing food in a stainless pot. It's not that it is a food safety issue, but - if you freeze something rather watery in it - the expansion of the ice as it freezes could damage the pot. I had two different stainless pots that I used as a water bowl for outside critters. The freezing of the water pushed the bottom of the pot outward, so they no longer sat flat.

It's safe but it won't taste good when it's defrosted. Try freezing in other containers such as plastic or glass. I save my mayonnaise jars and freeze large portions of food like tomato sauce in those.

The only reason I would NOT freeze sauce in a pot is not because of the sauce, but because of the pot. Pots and pans are made to get hot not very cold. You risk the pot cracking, layers chipping off, etc. I wouldn't recommend it.

Let the sauce come to room temp, then put in plasticware. Alternatively you can put it in plastic bags, which make a nice place to put them. Finally if your "sauce" is more of a broth, then you can concentrate it by cooking it longer, put it in an ice tray, then putting the broth cubes in a plastic bag. Makes it nice for soups later on!
