!WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury, property damage or fire, do not line oven bottom, racks, or broiler pan and grid with aluminum foil.

Broiling Hints

Remove excess fat from meat before broiling. Cut edges of meat to prevent curling.

Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is hot, food sticks.

All food except fish should be turned at least one time. Begin broiling with skin side down.

Season meat after it has browned.

Broiling does not require preheating.

Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in Broiling section to test broiler results. If food is not brown enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too brown, cook on a lower rack position.
