brOILInG TIPS

• Preheat the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes for improved performance.
• Placing food on slide rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray and
reduce the fat in the foods being broiled. It also helps to eliminate or prevent smoking
from the broiler.
• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• If desired, brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before
broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake pan/drip tray.
• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks
midway through broiling cycle.
• If food being broiled needs to be turned, remove from oven about halfway through
broiling, turn food over, season if desired, and return to oven to finish cooking.
