1.Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
2.The oven door should be left open to the broil stop position for all food.
3.For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.
4.If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
5.When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges, which could soil oven with fat dripping, hang over the sides.
6.Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to in~rease browning, preheat if desired.
7.Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide
1X times per side.
8.If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf 1 position higher.
