USING YOUR RANGE
B
ROILING TIPS
•
Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are
designed to drain excess liquid and grease away
from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter,
smoke, or fire.
•
If you broil small quantities, you may want to use
a small broiler pan. You can get them in the
housewares section of many department stores.
•
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
•
To make sure the grease drains well, do not use
cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.
•
Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil
burner.

The broiling rack position determines how the
burner cooks your food. The lower the position, the
more broiler grid area covered. See "Broiling
guide" below for more information.
•
To sear meat, place the broiler pan at one of the
higher rack positions so that meat is very near the
flame.
•
Thin (
3
⁄
") steaks may be broiled in the higher rack
4
positions.
•
To cook thick (1
1
⁄
") steaks and other thick cuts of
2
meat well done, move them to a lower rack posi-
tion after searing them.
•
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.
