Q.Whim broiling, isitnecessary toalways use a rack in the pan?
A.Yes.Usingthe rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks,thejuices fall into the pan, thus keepingmeat drier.Juices are protectedby the rack and stay cooler,thuspreventingexcessive spatterand smoking.
Q.Should 1 salt the meat before broiling?
A..No. Saltdraws out thejuices and allowsthem to evaporate. Always salt after cooking.Turn meat with tongs;piercingmeat with a fork also allowsjuices to escape.When broilingpoultryor fish, brush each side often with butter.
