Questions and Answers
Q. May I use aluminum foil to line the drip pan and spatter shield?
A. You can use aluminum foil to line your drip pan and spatter shield. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the spatter shield and cut slits in it just like the spatter shield. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the drip pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use the
spatter
A. Yes. Using the spatter shield 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 shield and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
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 unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan assembly with food in oven. Turn food only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler spatter shield to prevent meat from sticking?
A. The spatter shield is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking to the surface. However, spraying the shield lightly before cooking with a vegetable cooking spray will make cleanup easier.
