Foil
/1
Youcan use ah.u-ninum foil to lineyour broilerpan and broilerrack. However,
you mustmold the foil tightlyto the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.
Withoutthe slits, the foil will preventfat and meatjuices fromdrainingto the
broilerpan. Thejuices couldbecomehot enoughto catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying,not broiling.

Q. Whim broiling,
isit
necessary
to
always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.Usingthe rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks,thejuices fall into the pan,
thus keepingmeat drier.Juices are
protectedby the rack and stay
cooler,thuspreventingexcessive
spatterand smoking.
Q. Should 1 salt the meat before
broiling?
A..No. Saltdraws out thejuices
and allowsthem to evaporate.
Always salt after cooking.Turn
meat with tongs;piercingmeat
with a fork also allowsjuices to
escape.When broilingpoultryor
fish, brush each side often with
butter.
