Broiling Guide
The oven door and broiler drawer must be closed during
broiling_
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your
range. I1is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by
trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
° For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside
edges of the meal To slash, cut crosswise through the outer
fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the
meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling..
Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.
When arranging the food on the pan, do net let fatty edges
hang over the sides because dripping fat could soil the oven.
The broiler drawer does not need to be preheated However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the broiler pan
and grid at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking
time given in this guide ll/2 times per side

thickness, starling
temperature and your
