Broiling Guide - GE JBP15DMBB Use And Care 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
1985.)
The oven has 5 rack positions.
