Always use the
broiler pan and rack that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
●
When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges
hang over sides because dripping fat could soil the
oven.
●
The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.
●
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing the
cooking time given in this guide 1 times per side.
●
If your range is connected 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
●
The oven door should be open to the broil stop
position for all food.
●
For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around
outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat.
Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat
and losing juices.
●
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
