BROILING
Broiling is a fast method for cooking tender cuts of meats, poultry, ham and fish by direct heat from a broiler element. Foods
are placed under the upper heating element of the oven. Broiling results and timing depend upon the distance between the food
and the broiler element.
Broil with the door closed, for a cleaner, cooler kitchen. The smoke from broiling is consumed as it is drawn oven a rod-type
broiler element. After broiling, the dial must be turned to ”OFF” before baking.
Broiling time vary, so watch closely. Time depends on thickness and aging of meat, fat content and the doneness preferred.
Frozen foods require additional time for cooking.

DO NOT USE THE BROILER PAN WITHOUT ITS INSERT. NEVER COVER THE BROILER INSERT OPENINGS WITH
ALUMINUM FOIL. IF THE INSERT IS COVERED BY ALUMINUM FOIL, FAT CANNOT DIP AWAY FROM THE MEAT AND
MAY EASILY IGNITE.
IF YOU SHOULD HAVE A GREASE FIRE WHILE BROILING, TURN OFF THE BROILER AND KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED TO
CONTAIN THE FIRE UNTIL IT BURNS OUT.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE BROILER PAN AS SOON AS THE BROILER PAN COOLS. GREASE LEFT IN THE PAN CAN CATCH
FIRE IF THE OVEN IS USED WITHOUT REMOVING THE GREASE FROM THE BROILER PAN.
WHEN BROILING, IF MEAT IS TOO CLOSE TO THE FLAME, THE FAT MAY IGNITE.
