BRO~~G GU~E

The oven and broiler compartment doors 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 fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through th~ outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

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

“When arranging the 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 the next lowest shelf position and increasing the cooking time given in this guide 1 X times per side.
