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.
• Make sure you turn the knob all the way to the
BROIL 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 bottom.
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
