OVEN SMOKES EXCESSIVELY DURING BROILING
• Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling.
• Meat too close to the broiler element. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler. Preheat broil element for quick searing operation.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges
to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
• Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place
the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan.
• Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with aluminum foil.
DO NOT
use the broiler
pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
