Br~~iling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Turn the food. then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1.If the meat has fat or grist]e around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8 inch thick.
2.Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. ,41ways Llse the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enoLlgh to catch on fire.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil ti,ghtlv to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broi]er pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q.When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan?
A.Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks. the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler. thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q.Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?
A.In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be low. In thew cases. preheat the broil element for 
1 () minutes before placing the broiler pan with f’ood in the o~en. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil fOl- the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A.No. Salt draw~ out the juices and allows them to e~tiporate. Alm’ays salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs: piercing the meat with a fork also allow’s the juices to escape. When broiling poultrj or fish, brush eoch side often with butter.
Q.Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent meat from sticking?
A.No. ‘The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler heat. thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent the meat from sticking to the surface. Howe~er, spraying the broiler grid lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
