BROILING TIPS

•Preheat the broiler for at least 5 minutes for improved performance.

•Placing food on broiler rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray and reduce the fat in the foods being broiled. It also helps to eliminate or prevent smoking from the broiler.

•For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.

•Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.

•Brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before broiling.

•Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake pan/drip tray.

•There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks midway through broiling cycle.
