BROILING TIPS

•Placing food on broil rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray and helps to prevent smoking from the broiler.

•For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.

•If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1½ to 2 times the broiling time as required when fresh.

• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with oil and season as desired before broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled on bake pan/drip tray without the		ENGLISH
broiler rack.
• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks
midway through broiling cycle.
• If broiler “pops” during broiling, reduce the temperature or lower the food in the oven.
	• Wash bake pan/drip tray and clean inside of oven after each
	use with non-abrasive cleaner and hot soapy water. Too much
	grease accumulation will cause smoking (I).
