Broiling Guide - GE RB758 Owner's Manual

Using the oven.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature
and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling
times. This guide is based on
meats at refrigerator
temperature.
† 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.)
