BROILING

Broiling 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.

If the meat has fat or gristle 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.

Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Turn the food using tongs only once during cooking. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

How to Set Your Oven for Broiling

1.Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to BROIL.

2.Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF when broiling is finished.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly 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 into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

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 the 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 these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with food in the oven. Check to see

if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling. You may need to move the food to a higher shelf position.
