Notes
Make sure you watch it closely while it is broiling. Don't leave to answer the phone, straighten up the living room, or paint your fingernails. It will burn. You will be sad. Your kitchen will fill with smoke. Your fire alarm will go off. You will cry. Or swear. Don't leave. You've been warned.
