serving its purpose, andjuices may
become hot enough to catch fire.

Answers
Q. Whyshould I leavethe door
dosed when broilingchicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommendedfor closed-door
broiling.This is becausechickenis
relativelythicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
'moreheat in the ~venwhich allows
chickento cook evenlythroughout.
Q. When 'broiling, i s it.newssary
to alwaysuse 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 keepingmeat drier. Juices
are protectedby the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventingexcessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. ShouEdI
saltthemeatbefore
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out thejuices
and allowsthem to evaporate.
Alwayssalt after cooking. Turn
meat'withtongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allowsjuices 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 oven maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10minutes 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.
