Broiling may be slightly different from any previous broiling you may be acquainted with, so be sure to read this section
completely.
How to Set Your Oven for Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat
from the upper element in the oven. Most fish
and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.Follow
these steps to keep spattering and smoking to
a minimum.
r_ Placethe shelf in position C for most
broiling.
[] Close the door. Always broil with the door
closed.
r_ if the meat has fat or gristle around the
edge, cut vertical slashes through both
about 2" apart. If desired, fat may be
trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" thick.
r_ Placethe meat on a broiler grid in a broiler
pan designed for broiling. Always use the
grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan;
otherwise the juices may become hot
enough to catch fire.

Broiling Guide
II If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce the
last 5 to !0 minutes only.
II Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning
the oven shelf at the next lowest shelf
position and increasing cooking time given in
this guide 1½ times per side.
II When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over sides because the dripping
fat will soil the oven.
II If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare
steaks may be broiled by preheating the
broiler and positioning the oven shelf one
position higher.
