Broiling
Broiling tips
–To broil thicker pieces of food gradu- ally, sear the meat at a high tempera- ture, then continue broiling at a lower temperature so the food cooks through to the center.
–To ensure even cooking, it is best to broil foods of a similar thickness at the same time. Most items should be turned halfway through broiling.
–To determine how far through a thick piece of meat has been cooked, press down on its surface with a spoon.
If the surface presses down easily and with little resistance to the spoon, it is "rare".
If there is some resistance, it is "medium".
–If there is great resistance, it is "well done".
