Broiling
BROILING GUIDE
•
Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed
to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping
juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
• The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5
to 10 minutes only.
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let
fatty edges hang over the sides. These could soil
the oven.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the
oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and
increasing cooking time given in this guide
1

times per side.
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.
