Broiling andCustomBroiling
A
A. Broil element
Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
■For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
■For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
■Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting in food, unless recommended in the recipe.
