BROILING GUIDE

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

•Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

•For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

•Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick pork chops thoroughly without over browning them.

•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 dripping fat could soil the oven.

•The broiler compartment does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

•Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 11⁄2 times per side.
