BROILING GUIDE
1.
Always use the broiler pan and the rack 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.
2.
The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
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 of broiling only.
5.
When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges, which could soil the oven with fat drippings,
hang over the sides.
6. The Broiler does not need to be preheated.
However, for very thin foods, or to increase
browning, preheat if desired.
7.
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning
the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position
and increasing cooking time given in this guide
1
X
times per side.
8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf 1 position higher.
