Prepare for Broiling

!
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with foil.
• Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to
burner causing a fire.
• Never leave oven unattended while broiling.
Overcooking may result in a fire.
Broiling Tips
• Remove excess fat from meat before broiling. Cut
edges of meat to prevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is
hot, food sticks.
• All food except fish should be turned at least one time.
Begin broiling with skin side down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Broiling does not require preheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in Broiling
Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack position.

Broiling or Convection Broiling

a special reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on
the food; searing in natural juices and providing restaurant
quality, charbroiled flavor.

rack in oven.
