GE JGRS14 warranty Broiling Guide

BROILING GUIDE

•Both the oven door and the broiler compartment drawer must be closed during broiling.

•Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping the 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 the dripping fat will soil the oven.

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

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

•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.
