Oil gets filtered everyday and changed at least twice a week, never in my life have I seen this. What could they have possibly done in 1 night to cause this?! That shit was like charcoal coming out.

    So… what did you guys do to closing crew? This isn’t a BTW, this is a “Fuck it, you do it.”

    I worked in a very fryer heavy restaurant where the landlord stopped paying the oil disposal company so we had to run the same oil for two weeks straight until they got it sorted out and we had a place to put our dirty oil and it didn’t look anywhere near as bad as that when we finally changed it I’m calling bullshit on that fryer getting filtered daily there’s no fucking way

    I think the temp must have gotten cranked up? Maybe someone tried cooking something wacky? I can barely believe it got this way so fast. Maybe it has been getting skipped? In 40 years, I can count on one hand the places that put oil off for openers, and it was always horse shit.

    > oil gets filtered every day

    With what? A meshless strainer? Somebody didn’t filter it properly last night brother, that’s the only explanation

  7. Pretty common to dump it cold, in the daylight, the next morning.

    Seems like they forgot to turn off the fryer before filtering. It probably (definitely) caught on fire. That or it was cranked on accident and torched whatever was cooking.

    Looks like the Jiffy Pop I accidentally left on the burner for a half hour as a kid 😄

    My desire to downvote this because of my feelings seeing this photo is quite high. Updoot so we can ensure this shit never happens again.

    OP, I have no idea what could have possibly happened lol.

    Did they dump sugar straight into the oil???

    Some of these pictures blow my mind man. They would have had to kick me out of the kitchen before I would have left that for the next shift.

    Edit: I just realized they cooked in it right up until it looked like that. Holy fuck I would have been on a rampage.

    Looks like someone dropped an entire meal in there. They would be the ones who left the note LOL

    It looks like someone tried dumping a bag of something into the basket and completely missed, then didn’t bother scooping out the spillage

    Unfortunately I’ve seen stuff like this in the fryers where I work

    They cremated somebody in that fryer last night

  17. Closers were bored and high and most likely just tossing shit in for amusement. Then realized what they had done by the end of the night.

    Maybe they were making deep fried ice cream or mars bars or something.

    Oh hell no. I’m pretty level headed but this would send me on a warpath
