Broi ing Guide
1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your
oven,, It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering
by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan,
2. Oven door should be ajar for all foods except
chicken; there is aspecial position on door which holds
door open correctly.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside
edges of meal
To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to
the edge of the meat, Use tongs to turn meat over to
prevent piercing meat and losing juices
4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling.
Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges
hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat dripping,
6o Broiler does not need to be preheated_ However, for
very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if
desired.
7. Frozen Steaks can be conventionally broiled by
positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position
and increasing cooking time given in this guide 11/2
times per side
8. If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may
be broiled by preheating broil heater and positioning the
oven shelf one position higher
