Broiling is a quick method of cooking foods by direct heat under the upper broil

element of the oven, Results and cooking times will depend on the broil setting used and the distance between the food and the element

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks Remove the broiler pan and grid before preheating, Foods will stick if placed on hot metaL. Turn both the Temperature and Selector Controls to BROILwhen using the large oven Turn onlythe Temperature Control tO BROILwhen using the small oven Wait for the element to become red hot--about 2 minutes P.reheatingis not necessary when broiling meats well done,,

To Broil:

and selector controls (large oven) to BROIL,,

3, Place food on the cooi broiler grid, Be sure the grid is in place with the slots down so grease will drain into the pan,

4, Place the broiler pan in the oven. If broiling is done in the larger oven, the door should be opened to the broil stop position. The door remains in this position w!thout closing. If broifing is done in the smaller oven, leave the door open at the broil stop position (about 2 inches); a small resistance is felt when the door is in this position,

5Broil times vary, so watch the food closely Time depends on distance from the element, thickness and aging of meat, fat content and the doneness level selected,, The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second Frozen meats atso require additional time
