ok so when cooking a roast chicken - apparently you not only take out the tray the chicken sits in when you buy it but also the moisture sucker upper pad thingey....
im not dumb - i did both of those...
but they got me - apparently there were TWO moisture sucky up thingeys and one is now nicely roasted along with my chicken!!!
chicken tasted fine - pad looks a lot worse for wear
DOH!!!!!!!!
