BroilingGuide
The oven door should be closed during broiling.
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. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around out-
side 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 juice&
3. if desired, marinate meats or chicken before broil-
ing. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 min-
utes only
4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges
hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat drip-
ping.
5. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for
very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if
desired.
6. 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'/2
times per side.
