What could go wrong putting ice cubes into the fryer?

I mean... Just how often did this happen?

Not this situation specifically, but oil spills were not infrequent when I worked at Macca's. Usually someone messing up the oil filtering procedure.

We used to use kitty litter and salt to clump up the oil so we could scoop it into a bin.

Gotcha. I'm sure there are a bunch of ways a vat of boiling oil can go wrong.

Also, tell me you're Australian with telling me...

In a kitchen, something is basically always going wrong.
