GE JBP56 Oven door should be open to the broil stop position, Steaks less than 1 inch thick cook

Page 21

●Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are 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.

●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 dripping fat could soil the oven.

●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 1 Yj times per side.
