BROILING TIPS
•YourlowerovendoorshouldbeopentotheBROIL STOP position while broiling.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your range for broiling° They are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids and hetp prevent spatter, smoke or fire.
. Do not prehea_ when broiling. Preheating may cause the thermostat to cycle the broil element oft al_d on, For even broiling on both sides, start the food on a cold pan°
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops° Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
•For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just be- fore turning the meal Salt the second side just before serving,
,Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to prevent sticking and broil with skin side down, It is not necessary to turn fish,
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next tlme the oven Is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting out a grease fire. See the section on safety,
Do not cover the entire broiler grid with foil. Poor drainage
of hot fat may cause a broiler fire.
If a fire starts, close the oven door and turn controls off. if
fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire. Do not put water on the fire.
