Helpful Hints For Broiling; Auto Convection Cooking - KitchenAid KCMC166J Use & Care Manual

Helpful hints for broiling

•
Foods that are suitable for broiling should be
tender, moderately lean, and less than 2 inches
thick. Fish steaks, chicken breasts, and
hamburgers are ideal for broiling.
•
Always use the Broiling Rack with the Drip Pan
underneath.
•
For even browning, turn food over halfway through
broiling.
•
Do not leave the door open for long periods of time
when using the broil element. This will cause the
oven temperature to drop and could affect cooking
performance.
