    The problem with this recipe is that it is wrong. It is nothing like the recipe from the show that is in his book. I am very disappointed to come here (solely to print it out and save my book from the disaster area that is my kitchen and find it so. Indeed, even the procedure is no where near as detailed as is illustrated on Good Eats. So, don't give up on AB because of this recipe.
