BROILING
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the upper elemenL
The oven door should remain
opened to the broil stop position during broiling_
It is not necessary to preheat
the oven when broiting_ Use the broiler pan and grid that came with your range. Both are
designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids..

Foil must be molded tightly to the grid and slits cut into the foil to match those of the grid. This allows fats and liquids to drain into the
broiler pan, preventing fire and excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan and grid from the oven. Storing or forgetting a soiled broiler pan in the
oven is a potentia/ smoke or fire hazard.
•Choose tender cuts of meat at least 3/4" thick for broiling.
•Trim the outer layer of fat, slit the edges to keep meats from curling
The U S. Department of Agriculture notes that meat cooked rare is popular, but meat cooked
to only t40°F (rare) means that some poisoning organisms may survive.
The closer you place foods to the broil element, the faster foods brown on the outside yet remain red to pink in the center.
Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the center while browning
on the outside. Using this positioning, 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 will affect broiling.. This chart is based on meats at refrigerator temperature
RACK
POSITION
•Always use tongs to turn meats.. Piercing meat allows juices to escape
•Salt the first side of meats just before
turning, the second side just before
serving Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil.
•Chicken and fish should be placed on the grid skin side down. For fish, light!y grease the grid to prevent sticking
