Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat
of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire

on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
