† The U.S. Department of Agriculture says "Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door
closed but it may not brown as well because
the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in
the Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling times. This
