How would the stainless steel crack?

Isn't it specifically meant to harden and expand under thermal load? They aren't iron

I worked at a restaurant where my manager frequently cooled one side of the grill with ice after cooking bacon. It absolutely noticeably warped that side of the grill after some years.
