Questions and Answers
Q. May I use aluminum foil to line the drip pan
and spatter shield?
A. You can use aluminum foil to line
and spatter shield. However, you must mold the
foil tightly to the spatter shield and cut slits in it
just like the spatter shield. Without the slits, the
foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining
to the drip pan. The juices could become hot
enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.
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
by the shield and stay cooler, thus
protected
preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q.
Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking.
with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows
juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,
brush each side often with butter.

they should?
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.
Do I need to grease my broiler spatter shield to
prevent meat from sticking?
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.
