Tips for Reducing Smoke
Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it
is normal to experience smoke during the cooking
process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of
searing and should not cause you to worry. If you
are experiencing more smoke than you are

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling

comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce
the amount of smoke in your oven.
• Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans
or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
• The broiler pan should always be thoroughly
cleaned and at room temperature at the
beginning of cooking.
• Always run your cooktop ventilation system or
vent hood during broiling.
• Keep the interior of your oven as clean as
possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can
burn or catch fire.
• Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of
these will increase the amount of smoke you
experience. If you would like to use a glaze,
apply it at the very end of cooking.
• If you are experiencing significant smoke with
any food item, consider:
- Lowering the broiler to the Lo setting.
- Lowering the rack position to cook the food
farther away from the broiler.
- Using the Hi broil setting to achieve the level
of searing you desire, and then either
switching to the Lo broil setting, or switching
to the Bake function.
• As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will
produce more smoke than leaner items.
• Adhere to the guidelines in the Recommended
Broiling Guide section whenever possible.
