BROI LING
p.Ess lCE Fo..l
Most foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting. If you
prefer less browning
and slower
cooking,
you may
select LO Broil.
Broiling
is cooking
by direct
heat from the broit
burner.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated
meat
should be selected
for broiling.
For best results
steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan in
the oven broiler in the proper rack position.
The
recommended
rack position
and cooking time can
be found in the chart at right.
The closer the food is 10 the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
In the center. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown-
Ing outside.
Side one should be cooked I - 2 minutes
longer than side two.
Your oven door should be completely
closed
while broiling.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with you r
range for broiling.
They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat
when broiling,
Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner elf
and on, For even broiling on both sldes, start the
food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil.
When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It is
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler
pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
Be sure you know the correct
procedure
for
putting
out a grease
fire,
See the section
on
safety.
Do not cover
the entire
broiler
grid with foil.
Poor drainage
of
hot
fat
may
cause
a
broiler
fire.
If a fire
starts,
close
the oven
door
and
turn
controls
off.
If fire
continues,
throw
baking
soda
on the fire,
Do not
put
water
on the fire.
