Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled, Follow
these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Before You Begin Broiling...
If the meat has fat or grisde around the
edge, cut vertical slashes through it about
2" apart. If desired, the fat may be rammed,
lem_ng a layer about 1/8" thick.,
Place the meat on the broiler grid in the
broiler pan. Always use the grid so the fat
drips into the broiler pan; otheru_e the
.juices may become hot enough to catch
on fire°
Position the broiler pan on a shelf on the
recommended shelf position as suggested
in the Broiling Guide. Place the sump area
of the broiler pan to the front of the door.
NOTE'AIways broil with the oven door closed
Turn the food using tongs only once dm'ing
broiling. Time the foods for the first side
according to the Broiling Glfide.
Turn the food, then use the times given for
the second side as a guide to the preferred
doneness,
To test ff your broiler is working properly:.
Cover the entire broiler pan grid with
bread, Place the broiler pan on the third
shelf from the bottom Broil until the bread
is golden brou_n. If you have browning on
both sides of the pan, ),our broiler is
working properly. If toast browns only on
one side of the pan, call for sert4ce,

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your
broiler pan and broiler' grid. However, you
must mold the foil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid,
V_qthout the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become hot
enough to catch on fire, If'you do not cut
the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
