Broiling Guide
1. Always use broiler pan and rack
that comes with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.
2. Oven door should be open to the
broil stop position for all foods.
3. 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.
4. If desired, marinate meats or
chicken before broiling. Or brush
with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10
minutes only.
5. When arranging food on pan,
do not let fatty edges hang over
sides, which could soil oven with
fat dripping.
6. Broiler does not need to be
preheated. However, for very thin
foods, or to increase browning,
preheat if desired.
7. Frozen steaks can be
conventionally broiled by
positioning the oven shelf at next
lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide
1_ times per side.
