Oh my gosh. I've never heard of such a thing! Um... next time (like
there will ever be a next time????) unplug the fridge before diggin' in
to that fixture. What a potential nightmare!
Glad to know it was a hit though. How long did you later bake it for to
get it up to temp and finish browning? I'll have to look up this recipe,
I've never used or seen one of GR's recipes. I've just started watching
that Restaurant Nightmares show of his. He's a tough ******* but he
seems to know his stuff.
