GE Monogram ZEK755 manual Broiling Guide, Oven door should be open to the broil stop position

Page 24

BROILING GUIDE

•Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

•The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.

•For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

•If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

•When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat will soil the oven.

•The broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

•Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.

•Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 11⁄2 times per side.

•If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

ZEK755 specifications

The GE Monogram ZEK755 is an advanced electric cooktop designed to offer professional-grade performance in a sleek and elegant package. This high-end appliance combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for culinary enthusiasts and home chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the ZEK755 is its induction cooking technology. Induction cooktops heat pots and pans directly through electromagnetic energy rather than heating the surface of the cooktop. This results in faster cooking times, improved energy efficiency, and precise temperature control. With induction, users can quickly bring water to a boil or simmer sauces with unmatched accuracy, making it ideal for a variety of cooking techniques.

The ZEK755 boasts five cooking elements, each offering different power levels to accommodate all types of cooking needs. The largest induction burner is capable of delivering an impressive amount of wattage, providing quick heat for large pots and pans. The independent controls for each burner allow for multitasking in the kitchen, making it easy to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously.

Another key feature of the GE Monogram ZEK755 is its sleek, easy-to-clean surface. The ceramic glass cooktop is not only visually appealing but also resistant to scratches and spills. Any food or liquid that spills over evaporates quickly due to the induction heating, meaning that there is less mess to clean up after cooking.

Safety is also a top priority with the ZEK755. The cooktop includes built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off and control lock settings. This ensures that the cooktop will turn off after a period of inactivity, preventing accidents and ensuring peace of mind when cooking.

The cooktop’s modern design integrates seamlessly into a variety of kitchen aesthetics. Its frameless design and minimalist appearance give it a contemporary look, while its durable construction means it’s built to last.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZEK755 is a sophisticated electric cooktop that brings professional performance and modern technology into the home kitchen. With its induction cooking technology, versatile burner options, safety features, and easy-to-clean surface, it is a worthy investment for anyone serious about cooking. Whether you’re preparing a simple meal or an elaborate feast, the ZEK755 is designed to enhance your culinary experience.
