Broiling Tips
• Tender cuts ofmeat or marinated meatsare best for broiling. This includes riband
loincuts ofsteak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or fish. For
best results, steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should be pan-
broiled.
• Do notcover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fatdrippings from draining into
bottom of pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut
into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.
• To prevent dry surface on fish or lean meats, brush melted butter on top.
• Foodsthat require turning should be turned only once during broiling. Turn meat
with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.
