Cooking Instructions
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the
broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan
before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the
control(s) to BROIL as instructed in this manual. Wait for the element to
become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when
broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
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.
Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and it grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
Broiling Times
Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease
broiling times, or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for
doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the
instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
