BROILING GUIDE
• Both the oven door and the broiler compartment
drawer must be closed during broiling.
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
•
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling.
Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
• When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat
will soil the oven.
• The broiler compartment does not need to be
preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to
increase browning, preheat if desired.
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops evenly without over-browning them.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the shelf
at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking
