Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.
■
For best results, use the lower oven and a broiler pan with
grid (not provided). They are designed to drain juices and help
avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
■
Select HIGH/550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select
LOW/450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of
longer cooking foods such as poultry to avoid over browning.
■
The Broil feature is only available in the upper oven.
■
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Preheat oven for 5 minutes, position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.
To Broil Using Hi/Low Temperature Settings:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Press BROIL for the desired oven.
“BROIL” will scroll in the selected oven text area, and “HI” will
be displayed.
After 3 seconds, “Set temp or” will scroll in the upper text
area, followed by “Push START.”
3. Press “1” on the keypad for the High broil setting, or press
“2” for the Low broil setting.
4. Press START for the desired oven.
“Broiling” will scroll in the upper text area and remains there.
“BROIL” will scroll in the selected oven text area once the set
temperature is reached and remains there until CANCEL for
the desired oven is pressed.
NOTE: The broil temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing “1” on the keypad for the High broil setting or
pressing “2” for the Low broil setting and then pressing
START for the desired oven. Changing the temperature once
food is placed in the oven could affect performance.
5. Press CANCEL for the desired oven when finished.
6. Remove food from the oven.
BROILING CHART
Broil times are based on a 5-minute preheat. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Turn meat
halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
*When broiling fish, spray broil pan with cooking oil. Do not turn fish filets.
