Broiling Guide - GE Monogram ZEK938 Owner's Manual

Broiling guide

for 30 " ovens
(on some
models)
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference for 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.)
