Broiling Guide
The size,weight, thickness, cut, starting
temperature and personal preference of
doneness will affect broiling times. This guide
is intended as a general recommendation and
is based on meats at refigerator temperature.
Preheating the broiler 910 minutes is
recommended.
Adjust rack position or broil setting to
achieve different results.
For greater searing and less internal
doneness:
• Preheat the broiler for 10 minutes
• Use rack positions closer to the broiler
• Use Broil Hi setting
For less searing, meat that is cooked
through and thicker cuts of meat:
• Use rack positions farther from the broiler.
• Try broil low setting.

• Raw ground beef, pork lamb or veal: 160°F as measured with a foood thermometer.
• Poultry: 165° F as measured with a food thermometer
