B.ROILING
(Coil

llcd)
Use of Aluminum Foil
You
can
use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and
broiler grid. However,
you
must mold the foil
tightly
to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil
will
prevent fat and meat
,juices
from draining into the broiler pan. The juices
could
become hot enough to
catch
on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broil
ing.
Questions and Answers
~.
When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A.
Yes.
Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into
the
pan.
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
(T1-id
and
stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
e
spatter and smoking.
Q.
Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent
meat from sticking?
4.
No.
The broiler grid is designed to reflect broil
ci-
heat, thus keeping the surface
coo]
enough
to
prevent meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with a
vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
clean-up easier.

Q.
Should
I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and

them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the
meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape.
