Roasting

1.If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 5 cm (2″) apart.

If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 3 mm (1/8″) thick.

2.Place the meat on the broiler grid on the broiler pan which comes with the range. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3.Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

Guide

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.
