BROILING GUIDE
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
• The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
• 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 meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only_
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat
will soil the oven_
° The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
ff desired.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide 1½ times per side.
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them_
• If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
