Broiling - Kenmore 911.47704 Use & Care Manual

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element The oven
door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling
It is not necessary to preheat the
oven when broiling Use the broiter
pan and grid that came with your
oven Both are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids
lf foil is used it 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.
Always remove the pan and grid
from the ovem Storing or'
forgetting a soiled
broiler pan in the oven
is a potential smoke or
fire hazard,
k,
The U S Department of Agriculture
recommends to cook meat and
poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects
against food-borne illness
The closer you place foods to the
broil element 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
