If you boiled some ice in a hot frying pan,
would it become a gas or a liquid?

If the frying pan is hot enough, and you throw in not too much ice, it will immediately turn into gas. If you add toot much ice, it will cool down the frying pan, and the ice will first turn into liquid, before evaporating.
Whether the ice goes straightly to gas or not depends on the amount of energy the frying pan can transport to the ice itself. If the frying pan is hot, and you throw in crushed ice, you will see it evaporate immediately. However, if you throw in a LOT of crushed ice, the frying pan itself will cool down, and not have enough energy any more to immediately evaporate the ice, and will only be able to melt it, before the pan heats up enough again, and boils the water.
I tried to find a video of ice being fried, but couldn't find it. I did find this other interesting video. Enjoy!

And after gas it would come back as water in the form of rain somewhere.
