Broiling - GE Appliances JVM1920 Use And Care Manual

Convection Bro ag
Broiling is cooking food by
intense heat from the upper unit
in the oven. Most fish and tender
cuts of meat can be broiled.
Follow these steps to keep
spattering and smoking to a
minimum.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2" apart. If
desired, fat may be trimmed,
leaving layer about 1/8" thick.
Step 2: Insert spatter shield onto
drip pan° Always use spatter shield
so fat drips into drip pan; otherwise
juices may become hot enough to
catch fire Aluminum foil may be
used to line drip pan and spatter
shield_ But, be CERTAIN to cut
openings in foil, to correspond with
slots in the spatter shield so fat
drips into pan below.

Questions and Answers
Q. May I use aluminum foil to
line the drip pan and spatter
shield?
A. Yes, if you mold the foil
thorougl-dy to the spatter shield
and slit it to conform to the slots
in the shield. Slots permit proper
drainage of meat juices into drip
pan, minimizing smoking and
spattering and preventing possibility
of fire from overheated drippings.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use the spatter shield in
the pan?
A. Yes. Using the spatter shield
suspends the meat over the pan. As
the meat cooks, the ,juices fall into
the pan, thus keeping meat drier,
Juices are protected Toythe shield
and s_y 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 evaporam
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultty or
fish, brush each side often with
butter°
Q. Why are my meats not
turning out as brown as they
should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the oven may be low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan assembly with food in
oven. Turn food only once during
broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler
spatter shield to prevent meat
from sticking?
A. The spatter shield is designed to
reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat sticking to the surface°
However, spraying the shield
lightly before cooking with a
vegetable cooking spray will make
cleanup easier_
