. 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 the dripping fat will soil the oven.
. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 M times per side.
