Broiling Guide - Hotpoint RB790DT Owner's Manual

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
