BROILING
Broiling
is cooking
by direct
heat from the upper element.
The oven door should remain
opened
to
the
broil
stop
position
during broiling.
It is not necessary
to preheat
the oven when broiling.
Use the broiler pan
and grid that came with your range.
Both are
designed
for proper
drainage
of fat and
liquids.
WARNING!
Foil must be molded tightly to
the grid and slits cut into the foil
to match those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to drain
into the broiler pan, preventing
fire and excessive smoke.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture
notes that
meat cooked rare is popular,
but meat cooked
to only
140°F (rare)
means
that some
food
poisoning
organisms
may survive.
The closer you place foods to the broil elemen t,
the faster
foods
brown
on the outside
yet
remain red to pink in the center,
Moving meats away from the element will allow
the meat to cook to the center while browning
on the outside.
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes
longer than side 2. If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a higher rack
position
and/or broil foods longer.
The
size,
weight,
thickness,
starting
temperature
and
your
preference
of the
doneness
of the meat will affect broiling.
This
chart
is based
on meats
at refrigerator
temperature.

* Choose
tender
cuts of meat at least 3/4"
thick for broiling.
* Trim the outerlayer
of fat; slit the edges
to
keep meats
from curling.
• Always
use tongs to turn meats.
Piercing
meat allows juices
to escape.
• Salt the first side
of meats
just
before
turning,
the
second
side
just
before
serving.
Brush
chicken
and
fish with
butter
several
times as they broil.
•
Chicken and fish should
be placed
on the
grid skin side down. Forfish, lightly grease
the grid to prevent
sticking.
