Using the oven for broiling. ge.com
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to
drain away from the food.
Both the oven door and broiler compartment drawer should be closed during broiling.
How to Set Your Oven for Broiling
You can change the distance of the
food from the heat source by
positioning the broiler rack in
the broiler compartment:
–A (bottom of broiler
compartment).
–B (center of broiler compartment).
–C (top of broiler compartment).
Most broiling should be done in
position A.
Preheat the broiler for best results.
If the meat has fat or gristle
around the edge, cut vertical slashes
through it about 2 inches apart,
but don’t cut into the meat. We
recommend that you trim the fat to
prevent excessive smoking, leaving a
layer about 1/8 inch thick.
Close the oven door and broiler
compartment drawer.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.
Turn most foods once during
cooking. Time foods for about one-
half the total cooking time, turn
food, then continue to cook to
preferred doneness.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
Remove the broiler pan from the
broiler rack and serve the food
immediately. Leave the pan
outside the range to cool.
Use of Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line your
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the pan
and cut slits in the foil to open all slots
in the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet
of foil on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Broiler Compartment
The broiler pan is held in place in the
broiler rack.
To remove the broiler pan:
Gently pull forward on the drop
down broiler door.
Pull the broiler rack with pan
forward until the rack stops. Grasp
the broiler pan and remove it from
the broiler rack.
To replace the broiler pan:
Slide the broiler pan onto the rack
and push both the broiler pan and
the rack all the way into the broiler
compartment.
Close the broiler door.
