. Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.

. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat will soil the oven.

. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 M times per side.
