Broiling Chart - GE JHC56G Use And Care Manual

5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over
sides, which could soil oven with dripping fat.
6. Broiler docs not need to be preheated. However, for very thin
foods or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
7$ Frozen Steaks can be ~onventional]y broiled by positioning the
oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time
given in this chart 1% times per side,
8. If your range is connected to 208 Volts rare steaks may bc broiled
by preheating the broil heater and positioning the oven shelf one
position higher.
1. A1wia~'s use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. lt 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 most foods: there is a special position
on door which holds door open correctly.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of
meat. 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 loosing juices.
4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or, brush
with barbeque sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
