BROILING
If your model has a latch, do not lock the oven
door with the latch during broiling. The latch is
used for self-cleaning only.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above
the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be
broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering
and smoking to a minimum.
The oven door must be
closed during broiling.
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the
foods for the first side according to the Broiling
Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the
second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry
or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only
once during broiling.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2
²
apart. If
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8
²
thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid on the broiler pan
which comes with the range. Always use the grid so
the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the
juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf
position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.
4. Close the oven door.
5. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad.
6. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad again
(alternates between LO Broil and
HI Broil).
7. Press the START pad.
8. When broiling is completed, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. Serve the food
immediately, and leave the pan outside
the oven to cool during the meal for
easiest cleaning.
