Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Your range has a convenient drawer below the oven for broiling_ It also has a specialty designed broiler pan and grid that allows the dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the gas flame,

It is recommended that meat be cooked to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C) Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

Distance from the heat source may be changed by positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of the three shelf positions in the broiler drawer--A (bottom of broiler drawer), B (middle) and C (top)_

Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled., Foltow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum,

The oven door and broiler drawer door must be

closed during broiling.

Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on the broiler grid and cook without turning until done). Time the food for about one-half the total cooking time, turn the food, then continue to cook to the preferred doneness

How to Broil

1.The broiler drawer does not need to be preheated for broiling.

2, If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical stashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart, but do not cut into meat.. If desired the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about t/8" (3 mm) thick.

3.Arrange the food on the grid and position the broiler pan on the appropriate shelf in the broiler drawer.. Placing the food closer to flame sears the exterior and increases the surface browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting..

4.Close the broiler drawer and turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.

5.When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFR Remove the broiler pan from the broiler drawer and serve the food immediately Do not leave a soiled broiler pan and grid inside the range.

Use of Aluminum Foil

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

Without the slits, the foil

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid

will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to 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.

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.

This will disturb the heat circulation and result in

poor baking.. Aluminum foil

may also be used to catch

a spitlover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a

lower shelf several inches

below the food..
