I had this happen when I made a tomato-based dish in a cast iron pan, covered it with foil, and then stored it in the fridge. The aluminum was electroplated to the top of the food, and the pan had iron pits in the bottom.
Yes, I know I was bad for doing that to a cast iron pan. I was young and foolish.
I don't blame you, very few people know this and it's not intuitive. With plastic items, everyone learns early that they don't take heat well. Arguably, it's not much of a problem anymore since every metal container and silverware is stainless steel and basically only aluminum foil remains. At least now you know why coins make that smell in a sweaty hand.
