GE 164D2966P079, JGBP19 Broiling Guide, Broiling should always be done with the oven door closed

BROILING GUIDE

•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.

•Broiling should always be done with the oven door closed.

•For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around 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 the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

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

•When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides. These could soil the oven bottom.

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

•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.
