Broiling information
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil ele- ment of the oven. Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling.
Preheating
Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils |

|
from the oven before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, | Broil Stop Position | // |

To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Sea- son and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Determine | Broiling | Times | Grid |
Broiling times | vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the | ||
distance from | element, | but on the | thickness and aging of meat, fat content and |
doneness preferred. The first side | usually requires a few minutes longer than | ||
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiling Tips
Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use a pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
Broiler Pan
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips
(Supplied with some models)
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is ex- tremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use
