Broiling guidelines
•
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
•
To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
•
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
•
Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
•
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
•
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
when removing the food. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning
more difficult.
•
For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.
