Broiling Tips - Jenn-Air W216 Use And Care Manual

Broiling
The broil element provides flexibility for
broiling foods. If you have a Jenn-Air grill,
we recommend you use the grill accessory
for most of your broiling. There are some
types of foods that do require use of the
oven broil element. These include foods
such as stuffed lobsters, meringue pies, or
other foods which require top browning.
To Broil
1. Place oven rack on the rack position
suggested in the chart. Distance from
broiling element depends on foods being
prepared. Rack position #4 is usually
recommended unless otherwise stated.
2. Turn SELECTOR knob to BROIL
setting.
3. Turn THERMOSTAT knob to Broil.
4. Place food on pan provided with oven.
After top broil element is red place food
in oven. Preheating takes a few minutes,
or until element glows a bright cherry
red.
5. Leave oven door open at broil stop posi-
tion when broiling.
Broiling Tips
• Tender cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes rib
and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or
fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should be
pan-broiled.
• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining
into bottom of pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut
into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.
