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.

10

• 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).
