Broiling tips
l
Use
the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain excess liquid
and grease away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.
l
After broiling, remove
the broiler pan
from the oven when you remove the
food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave
it in the heated oven.

Fire Hazard
l
Place meat the correct distance from
the element. Meat placed too close to
the element could spatter, smoke, burn
or catch fire during broiling.
l
To ensure adequate grease drainage,
do not use cookie sheets or similar
pans for broiling. Also, covering the
broiler grid with foil is not recom-
mended. Poor drainage of grease could
resull in fire. If foil is used, cut slits in
foil to line up with all openings in broiler
grid. Grease can then drain away and
cool in pan.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
l
Preheat
only when recommended and for
the shortest time possible.
l
“Oven peeking”
may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times and unsatisfactory
baking results. Rely on your timer to keep
track of the cooking time.
l
Bake
cakes, pies or cookies when the
oven is warm. Best time to bake is right
after a meal has been cooked in the oven.
l
Plan
your meals for the most efficient use
of the range. When using the oven to cook
one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in
it also.
l
Do not preheat
when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
