Broil Tips and Techniques
• Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.
• Start broiling with a cool oven and broiler pan. There is no need to preheat oven for broiling.
• Broil with the oven door positioned at the Broil door stop (open door broiling).
• Use the three-piece broil pan for Broil.
• Brush fish and lean cuts of meat with vegetable oil before broiling to prevent sticking.
• Start broiling poultry with skin side down.
• Turn food after one half of total cooking time. Thicker cuts of meat or poultry can be turned more often.
• Slotted top racks on broiler pan let fat drip away, reducing spattering and smoking.
• When top-browning casseroles, use only metal or glass-ceramic (Pyroceram™) such as Corningware
®
bakeware.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrexware
®
) pottery; they cannot tolerate the high temperatures.
• Refer to Page 14 for setting Broil mode.
