Broiling
To Use Broil or Convection Broil
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning broiler on.
2. Center the food on a cold broiler pan and grid. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to "Broil". Turn on the convection fan switch if you wish to convection broil.
4. Close the door. Only use closed door broiling. With closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended
broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.
Broiling Tips
• ONLY use closed door broiling
• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the
cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.
• ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven
after broiling.
