Hey, y'all.
I made my first Griffloaf yesterday late afternoon, probably brought it in around 6:30. We set it in the oven for safekeeping while my missus finished up the sides, and we got the little guy set up with some food.
I actually followed the recipe (hey, first try and all, mess with it on future versions) and it was amazing. Looked great, had a smoke ring, and I combined catsup with some mustard and a small hit of maple syrup for a sweet red sauce.
After serving dinner, I tucked it back in the oven to keep it away from the cats.
We did the rest of our evening stuff, and went to bed.
I found my precious, tasty griffloaf in the oven this morning. Almost 12 hours after it left the smoke. Frantic googling led to a discussion of commercial kitchen requirements compared to a home kitchen. Most of those folks would risk it for themselves but not anywhere/anyone but home.
It was wonderful, amazing, and inside my turned-off oven for probably 11 1/2 of the 12 hours. I hate to lose the food. The wife is willing to kinda watch and wait to see what happens to me before making her own call.
What would you say?
