BROILING
Most foods can be brolledat the HI Broll Sattlng. Select
the LO Broil setting to avoid excesstve browning or
drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done
stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).
BROILING TIPS
Please note:
Your oven door should be open to the broil
stop position while broiling. If the door is
olosed, the food will roast and not broil.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling. For even broiling
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer offat from steaks and chops. Silt
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meet. Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It Is
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. Seethe section on safety.
Do not cover the entire broiler
grid with foil (mold toil tightly
to grid and cut slits in foil to
align with slits in the grid).
Poor drainage of hot fat may
cause a broiler fire.
if a fire starts, close the oven
door and turn controls off. If
fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire. Do not put
water on the fire.
POSITIONING BROILER PAN
Broiling Iscooking bydirect heat fromthe broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-
lected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops
should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack in the proper position. The recommended
rack poslUon and cooking Urns can befound inthe chart
below.
The closer the food isto the broil element, the faster the
meat browne on the outside, yet stays red to pink in the
center. Mevlng the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the canter while browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than
side two.
