Special features

You can "jump into spring". This does some damage (a few hundred hitpoints) and causes you to be wrapped in a blanket of lard:

She appears to be wrapped in a blanket made of lard.

This appears to be the same effect as Granny Lipintense's Layer of Lard, as it shows up in shields.

Jumping in with open containers will also fill those containers with molten fat--which will eventually solidify into just fat.

Also, while in the spring, this will be added to your description line:

He is up to the neck in molten fat.

If you stay in the spring for too long (half a minute seems to be too long), you will be further burned and will die:

You stand up.
Your skin is burning from the boiling fat.
Hp: 123 (500) Gp: 50 (50) Xp: 7316
 Damage: 225 
The heat and pain of the boiling fat are too great.  Finally you expire and are deep fried by the fat.
Hp: 0 (500) Gp: 50 (50) Xp: 7319
 Damage: 123 
The greasy aura vanishes with a wet sound.
Someone says: MY, WE'VE BEEN A BIT CARELESS, HAVEN'T WE?  SHALL WE POPPADOM TO THE NEXT DIMENSION?

It appears that if you lose all your health from jumping into the springs, you will still burn.

You will need to "leave spring" before you can leave the room.

If you jump into the spring while being already dead, you will get the following message:

You immerse yourself in the molten fat of this spring.  Seeing as you are already dead and ghosts have no flesh to burn, though, it doesn't seem to cause you any problems.

If you try to leave through an exit, it assumes you are alive (typo'd)

w
You can't do that while deep-frying alive in a fat spring.  You could try leaving the fat spring first.
leave spring
You pull yourself out of the fat spring dripping with molten fat.
