Oil warmed it up, it expanded and broke the ball, falling liquid to the bottom of your hot fryer. You took the tates out, but not the water on the bottom, which as it does, superheated quickly and exploded. - Manufacturing problem with the tate balls. | |

| Jan 3, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | Chris H | Was there much (any) smoke? That would be the first symptom of the oil overheating. Is there any residue in the bottom of the fryer that could give a clue as to what went bang? | |
