BROILING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
broiling. The latch is used for seLf-cleaning only.
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.
The oven door must be closed during broiling.
Turn the food only once during broiling° Time the
foods for the first side according to the Broiling
Guide Turn the food, then use the times given for the
second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer
about 1/8" thick_
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid on the broiler pan
which comes with the range. Always use the grid so
the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the
juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.
3, Position the shelf on the recommended shelf
position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.
4. Close the oven door.
5, Press the BROIL or BROIL HULO pad.
6. Press the + pad once for LO Broil (450°F) or press
the + pad twice for HI Broil (550°F).
To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the
BROIL pad and then the - pad once°
7, When broiling is completed, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad° Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for
easiest cleaning°
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°
Without the slits, the f0il will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on ftre. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fal! into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows the juices to escape When broiling poultry
or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q, Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A, Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position° Broil for the longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guider Turn the food only
once during broiling.
