I am making Coq au vin this weekend for the first time, and the recipe calls for me to pour some brandy over the chicken in its dutch oven, and then to light it on fire. (flambe)
I am not too worried about this, and am reasonably confident about being able to cover the pot quickly if the fire gets out of control.
My concern is my building's fire detection system. I live in a fairly modern condominium, built just 4 or 5 years ago. How do the fire detection systems work in these buildings?
What I don't want to have happen is for the fire alarm to go off automatically, just because there's a little fire in the pot (which is what's supposed to happen) and for the fire department to be called, but honestly, I have no idea where the fire detector is, or how it works.
What do you guys think? I'm cooking with a date, and I don't think I want our date interrupted by a fire alarm, not to mention having to explain to the fire department why I disrupted the whole building. That may kill the romance
