Broiling tips
•
Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain extra liquid and
grease away from the cooking surface.
This drainage helps prevent spatter,
smoke, or fire.
•
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
•
To make sure grease drains well, do
not use cookie sheets or similar pans for
broiling.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
Cooktop
•
Match the pan to the coil element size.
•
The pan should have a flat bottom,
straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
•
To help shorten your cooking time, use
the least amount of liquid possible.
•
Preheat your pots and pans only when
recommended and for the shortest time
possible.
•
Start your food on a higher heat setting,
then turn the control to a lower setting to
finish cooking.
•
Place a filled pan on the coil element
before turning it on.
USIN G YOU R RANG E
•
Place food about 3 inches or more from
the broil element.
•
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven when you remove the
food. Drippings will bake on the pan if
you leave it in the heated oven.
Oven
•
"Oven peeking" can make cooking
times longer and affect the food quality.
•
Rely on a timer to keep track of
cooking time.
•
Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven by cooking more than one
food at a time, or baking while the oven
is still hot after cooking a meal.
•
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling or roasting, unless your
recipe recommends doing so.
