Broil - Miele HR1421 Operating Instructions Manual

Broil


Danger of burns!
Broil with the oven door closed. If
you broil with the door open the hot
air will escape from the oven before
it has been cooled by the cooling
fan.
The controls will get hot.
Oven modes
Broil
For broiling thin cuts of meat and
browning.
The entire Browning / Broiling element
will get hot and glow red.
Conv Broil (Convection Broil)
For broiling thicker items, e.g. roulades,
poultry pieces.
The Browning / Broiling element and
the fan turn on alternately.
Cooking accessories
Use the universal tray with a grilling and
roasting insert (if available) on top. The
insert protects the oven from splatter
and collects the juices underneath. The
juices can then be used for gravy and
sauces.

Temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
Preheating
Always preheat the oven for about
5 minutes with the door closed before
Broiling.
Shelf levels 
Select the shelf level according to the
thickness of the food.
– Thin cuts: Shelf level 4 or 5
– Thick cuts: Shelf level 2 or 3
Broiling duration 
Thick pieces of fish and meat take
approx. 6-8 minutes per side. Thicker
pieces will take longer. It is best to broil
food that has a consistent thickness at
the same time so each piece cooks
evenly.
Testing doneness
Always follow USDA guidelines for
safe food temperatures.
Tip: If the surface of a thicker cut of
meat is browned but the center is still
raw, move the food to a lower level or
reduce the temperature and continue
cooking. This will stop the surface from
becoming too dark.
