BROILING GUIDE
• Always use a broiler pan and rack. 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 because the dripping fat
will 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.
