Broiling Chart - GE JBP23 Use And Care Manual

Broiling Chart
1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.
2. Oven door should be ajar for most foods ; there is a special position on
door which holds door open correctly.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To
slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat.
Use tongs to tum meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.
4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or, brush with
barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
