Q.When
b roiling,is it necessary
to alwaysuse a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.Usingthe rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As t_he meat
cooks, thejuices fall into the pan,
thus keepingmeatdrier. Juices
are protectedby the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventingexcessive
spatterand smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt drawsout thejuices
and allowsthem to evaporate,
Alwayssalt after cooking.Turn
meat with tongs;piercing meat
with a fork also allowsjuices to
escape. When broilingpoultry
or fish, brush each side often
with butter.
Q. Why m-emy meats not turning
out as brown as they should?

rackto preventmeatfrom
stietig?
