Using the oven.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and your
preference of doneness will
affect broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at refrigerator
temperature.
† The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says "Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F. means some food poisoning
organisms may survive." (Source:
Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
The oven has 5 rack positions.
