Using and Caring for Your Oven

Broiling tips

•Always start broiling with a cold broiler pan for even results.

•To retain more natural juice, do not pierce meat with a fork.

•Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.

•Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from curling during broiling.

•Use a nonstick cooking spray or veg- etable oil on the broiler pan and grid when broiling fish to prevent sticking.
