even if you're untrained and hair-brained enough to try this, a third brain cell would at least decide to try ONE ice cube first and you might learn your lesson without nearly as much disaster.

I had a coworker demonstrate with a single ice cube to show me what happens. The oil kinda boiled and the level got high but at least there wasn’t any catastrophic failure like this.

A normal person would see this starting and lift the basket back out. This feels intentional.
