A. Broil
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will
turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is
closed, the element will come back on approximately 30 seconds
later.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be
ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for
easier cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise
control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and
poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Close the door.
