Broiling Guide
Safety
■Always use a broiler pan and grid. 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 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 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 11⁄2 times per side.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book, Your KitchenGuide, USDA Rev. June 1985.)
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
