a nd Answers
Q. k it +X to line the broilerpan
and rack with aluminum foil?
A. Yes, if you mold the foil tho-
roughly to the rack and siit it to
conform to the slits in the rack,
These slits let meat juices drain into
the broiler pan. This minimizes
smoking and spattering and helps
prevent the possibility of fire from
overheated drippings.
Q. ShouM i salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and
allows them to evaporate. Always
salt after cooking. Piercing meat
with .a fork also lets juices escape.
That's why you should use tongs to
turn meat. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often with
butter.
CLWhen broiling,is it always
necessaryto use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.The rack suspends the meat
over the pan. As the meat cooks,
the juices drop into the pan and
keep the meat drier. Juices are pro-
tected by the rack and stay cooler.
This prevents excessive smoking
and spatter.
Q. Do I need to greasemy broiler
rack to keep meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, This keeps
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface,
Q. Why are my meatsnot turning
out as brownas they should?
A. In some areas, the power (volt-
age) to the oven may be low. if so
in your area,,preheat the oven with
the broil unit for 10 minutes before
placing food in the oven.
Another possible reason—you might
not be using the recommended shelf
position.
Also see if this works. Broil for the
longest period of time indicated in
the Broiling Chart on page 43, and
turn food only once.
Q. Should I leavethe door ajar
when broilingchicken?
A. No. The oven dbor should be
closed, and shelf position A is
recommended.
'No probe used.
tDo not turn over.
