You can use aluminum foil to line

However, you must mold the foil
tightly to ~he rack and cut slits in it
just like the rack.

Questions & Answers
Q. Why should I leave the door
closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door
broiling. This is because chicken is
relatively thicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
more heat in the oven which
allows chicken to cook evenly
throughout.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
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 evaporate. Always
tongs; piercing meat with a fork
also allows juices to escape. When
broiling poultry 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 range maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my
broiler rack to prevent meat
from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect
broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
