BROILING GUIDE
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part
of the pan.
• Leave the oven door open to the broil stop position
for all foods.
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside
edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer
fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to
turn meat over to prevent piercing 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 food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides. These will soil the
oven bottom.
• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.
• 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.
• If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
