BROILING TIPS (O)
• Placing food on broil rack allows the drippings to flow into the drip
tray pan and helps to eliminate or prevent smoking from the broiler.
• To prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements, be sure food
does not extend past the edges of the drip tray.
• Be sure the top of the food is at least 1½ inches from the top
heating element.
• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1½ to 2 times the
broiling time as required for fresh.
O
• T rim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled on bake pan without the broil rack.
• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks midway
through broiling cycle.
• If broiler "pops" during broiling, reduce the temperature or lower the food in the oven.
Important: Wash broiler pan and clean inside of oven after each use with nonabrasive cleaner and
hot water. Too much grease accumulation will cause smoking.
