Broiling

-Broiling is cooking food by direct

heat from above the food. Your range is designed for waist-high broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and rack allows dripping fat to drain away from the foods and be kept away from the high heat of the gas flame.

Broiling Tips

Steaks and chops should be at

Broiling Guide

 

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

How to Broil

1.Ifmeathasfat orgristlenear the edge, cut vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don’t cut into meat. We recommend that you trim fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about 1/8 inch thick.

2.Arrange food onrackand position the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven. Placing food closer to flame increases exterior browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.

3.Close theovendoor.

4.Press the BROIL button and turn the SET knob until your choice

of HI BROIL or LO BROIL is displayed. Note: Chicken and ham are broiled at LO BROIL in order to cook food through without over-browning it.

5.Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down onbroilerrackand cookwithout turning until done). Time foods for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

6.Push CANCEL button.

Remove broiler pan from oven and serve food immediately. Leave pan outside the oven to cool.
