Broiling

Broiling is cooking by direct heat

from the:upper element. The oven

door should remain open to the broil

stop position during broiling.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven when broiling. Use the broiler pan and grid that came with your

range. Both are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids:

The U.S. Department of Agriculture

notes that meat cooked rare is

popular_, but meat cooked to only

140°F (rare) means thatsome food

poisoning organisms may:survive.

The closer you place foods to the

broil element, the faster foods brown

on::the outside yet remain redto pink in the center-,

Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the

center while browning on the outside.

Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer than side 2. If your oven is connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a

higher rack position and/or broil foods longer.

The size, weight, thickness, starting

temperature and your preference of

the doneness of the meat wilt affect

broiling: This chart is based on meats

at refrigerator temperature.
