BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Turn the food using tongs only once during cooking. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

1.If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.

If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8thick.

2.Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3.Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

5.Turn the OVEN SET and the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL. Preheating elements is not necessary. (See the Comments column in the Broiling Guide.)

6.When finished broiling, turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF. Serve the food immediately, leaving the broiler pan and rack outside the oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly

with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling. You may need to move the food to a higher shelf position.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. Turn meat with tongs instead of a fork.
