Broiling
This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Broiling Tips
•For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
•Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
•Always pull the rack out to the «stop» position before turning or removing food.
•Always use the broiler pan and its grid when broil- ing. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
•For best broiling results, broil with the oven door slightly open.
•DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO
NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
