I've done it once with a fully heated oven and ice-cubes from the freezer
and the cracking, explosions and sounds of metal undergoing violent thermal
cycling convinced me that the idea was a little dubious. What's more, the
ice evaporated relatively slowly compared to the boiling water I normally
use so I didn't get the blast of steam that I wanted.
Basically, it won't do your oven any good and it doesn't work.
