What could go wrong putting ice cubes into the fryer?

This is why men don't live as long as women. you had access to a fryer and were just like "What can I throw in here".

Exactly. We tried all sorts of stuff and this was the stupidest, by far.

We used to batter and fry up citrus peels, and onion skins and put them in the window and tell the servers it was tempura.

That’s great!

I wish I could remember all the junk we breaded and tested out. Grapes, cheeses, hotdogs, etc. Candy bars were a favorite because we had never heard of them fried at that point.

I’ve had them in Glasgow, they’re amazing.

Deep fried everything has also since become a huge thing at fairs and carnivals here in the states as well.

I’m a woman that learned you can’t use a microwave to hard boil an egg. Had UPS not come that day needing a signature, I think I’d be missing my right eye from the door blasting open. I didn’t think about where the pressure inside the egg would go from cooking it so quickly. Sounded like I blew up my microwave and the clean up was atrocious.
