Don't know if that's true, but I have borrowed a GFI plug-in tester and will be checking it out this weekend - and replacing the receptacle!
I don't know how much I would trust this electrician in the future.
GFI .... Ground Fault Interrupter...
When the GFI senses current to .... Wait for it.... Ground, it will trip. It is there to prevent you from carrying current from an appliance to a ground like a stove, fridge or a plumbing fixture. Your tongs completed the circuit from line to ground not from line to neutral.
I think your electrician is confused with an Arc Fault breaker.

White Witch used to play a bar in north Tampa during the summer of 1977. Tuesday was $1 pitcher night. BIG pitchers too. I don't know how we made it home.

Extremely beautiful woman. But I do not think the drama that came with her would be worth it.
