BROILING GUIDE

●Always use the broiler pan @ rack 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 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 will

soil the oven.

●Broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

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