Broiling Guide - GE JSP28 Use & Care Manual

1. Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes
with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.
2. The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing the juices.
4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
