1.Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
2.Oven door should be open to broil stop position.
3.For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.
4.If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
5.When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edge! hang over sides, which could soil oven with
fat dripping.
6.Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, ff very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
7.Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 X times per side.
8.If your range is connected to 208 Volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
