HI OR LO BROIL

.Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It is not necessary to turn fish.

. Never leave a soiled broiler pan In the range. Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time the oven is use

sBe sure you know the correct procedure for putting out a grease fire. See the section on safety

Do not cover the entire broiler grid with foil. Poor drainage of hot fat

A may cause a broiler fire.

If a fire starts, close the oven door and turn controlsoff. If fire contin- ues, throw baking soda on the fire. Do not put water on the fire.

Most foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting Select the LO Broil setting to avoid excessive browning or drying of too& that should be cooked to the well-done stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).

. All broiling should be done in the upper oven

. Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil burner Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be selected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops should be at least 3/4” thick.

-Atter placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an oven rack in the proper rack positlon The recom- mended rack position and cooktng time can be found In the chart at right

. I he closer the food ISto the broil burner, the faster the rneat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink in the center. Moving the meat farther away from the burner lets the meat cook to the centerwhile browning outside. Side one should be cooked 1 2 minutes longer than side two

. Your oven door should be completely closed while br3illng.

. Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your range for broiling. They are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.

. Do not preheat when broiling. For even broiling on both sides, star-f the food on a cold pan.

. Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
