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.
