Broiling
The broil element provides flexibility
for
broiling foods. If you have a Jenn-Air grill,
we recommend
you use the grill for most
of your broiling. There are some types of
foods that do require use of the oven broil
element. These
include
foods
such as
stuffed lobsters, meringue
pies, or other
foods which require top browning.
To Broil
1. Place oven rack on the rack position
suggested
in the chart. Distance from
broiling element depends on foods being
prepared.
Rack
position
#4 (second
from the top) is usually recommended
unless otherwise stated.
2. Turn
SELECTOR
knob
to
BROIL
setting.
3. Turn TEMPERATURE
knob to 550°F.
4. Place food on roasting
pan provided
with oven. After top broil element is red
place food in oven. Preheating takes a
few minutes,
or until element glows a
bright cherry red.
5. Leave oven door open at broil stop posi-
tion when broiling.
Broiling
Tips
• Tender cuts of meat or marinated
meats are best for broiling. This includes rib
and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or
fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should be
pan-broiled.
• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings
from draining
into bottom of pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut
into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.
