~.

Always use the broiler pan and the rack that comes

with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking

and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded

lower part of the pan.

2.

The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around

outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise

through outer fat surface just to the edge of the

meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent

piercing meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling,

w-

brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes

of broiling only.

5. When arranging food

on

pan, do not let fatty edges,

which could soil the oven with fat drippings, hang

over sides.

6. The Broiler does not need to be preheated.

However,

for

very thin foods, or to increase

browning, preheat if desired.

7. 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.

8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks

may be broiled by preheating the broiler and

positioning the oven shelf 1 position higher.
