Using and Caring for Your Oven
Broiling tips
•Always start broiling with a cold broiler pan for even results.
•To retain more natural juice, do not pierce meat with a fork.
•Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
•Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from curling during broiling.
•Use a nonstick cooking spray or veg- etable oil on the broiler pan and grid when broiling fish to prevent sticking.
