Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.

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 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 food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat could soil the oven.

The broiler 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 oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 X times per side.

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

If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
