By Luisa KRachael Ray Almost Set the Studio on Fire
Lights, camera, disaster! Have you ever wondered how there aren’t more accidents or disasters on the cooking shows we see on TV? When Rachael Ray was filming the pilot for 30 Minute Meals, she almost set the Emeril’s kitchen on fire.
The pilot was being filmed on the set of Emeril Live. While filming, Rachael Ray had put some oil on the skillet but didn’t realize that the crew had already heated the oil for her. As soon as the oil hit the pan, there were bursts of flames, and the set almost caught fire. Luckily, it didn’t get that far, and the set and everybody on it was safe.
