Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum
foil
to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
ti,ghtlv
to the grid and cut slits in it
just
like the
grid.
J
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the
broi]er
pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire.
If
you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Yes.

Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent
meat from sticking?
No.
‘The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler
heat. thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.

spraying the broiler grid lightly
with
a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will
make clean-up easier.
