The oven door must be closed during broiling.
● Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
● For steaks and chops, slash the 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 the juices.
● Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops thoroughly without over browning them.
●
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 dripping fat could
soil the oven.
● The broiler compartment 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 shelf
at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking
time given in this guide 1

times per side.
