How to Broil
1. Ifmeat has fat or gristle near the
edge, cut verticalslashesthrough it
about2 inchesapart, but don’tcut
intomeat. Werecommend that you
trim fat to preventexcessive
smoking,leavinga layerabout
I/$-inch thick.
2. Arrange food on rack and
positionthe broiler pan on the
appropriateshelf in the oven.
Placing foodcloser to flame
increases exterior browningof
food, but also increases spattering
and the possibility of fatsand meat
juices igniting.
3. Close the ovendoor but do
not latch it. If the door latcl~is

Fi~~t ~U~i~~ ~ ~~Oi!
o~~F~tio~,
the door may lock and
you may not be able to open it until
the oven cools.
4. Turn OVENSET knob to BROIL.
For most foods,turn OVEN TEMP
knob to BROIL. Note: Chicken
and ham are broiled at a lower
setting in order to cook food
through without over-browning it.
5. Turn most foods once during
cooking (the exception is thin fillets
of fish; oil one side, place that side
downon broilerrack andcookwithout
turning until done). Time foods for
about one-half the total cooking
time, turn food, then co~~tinueto
cook to preferred doneness.
6. Turn OVEIYSET’and 0~/EIKT
