Broiling Guide

The oven door and broiler drawer must be closed during

broiling_

Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. I1is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

°For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meal To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the 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 the food on the pan, do net let fatty edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven.

The broiler drawer 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 broiler pan and grid at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide ll/2 times per side

The size, weight, thickness, starling

temperature and your preference of donaness

will affect broiling times This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature
