What Happens When You Deep Fry Ice

I'm summarize: you get fired.

Born in Space shares with us two videos of fast food workers performing precise scientific experiments. They carefully transfer ice from the ice machine into the deep frying basket, which they then carefully lower into the fryer. Then all hell breaks loose.

Foodsguy explains the science at work here. There's a huge temperature gap between the ice and the hot oil--so much so that the ice begins to boil immediately after it comes into contact with the oil, converting the ice to steam almost instantly. The steam pours out of the fryer.

This is dangerous. Don't try this at home. Or work.
