liroiling
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the
food, Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be
broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum,
The oven door should be closed during broiling.
Step 1 : If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut verti-
cal slashes through both about 2" apart, If desired, fat
may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8" thick°
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan
which comes with range, Always use rack so fat
drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become
hot enough to catch fire
Step 3: Position shelf on recommended shelf position
as suggested in Broiling Guide on page 28
Step 4: Touch BROIL pad, " "
appears in display and "BROIL" flashes
Step 5: Select LO Broil (450°E) by tap-
ping INCREASE pad once Select HI
Broil (550°F.) by tapping iNCREASE pad
twice.
To change from HI Broil to
pad once
LO Broil, tap DECREASE
Step 6: Turn food only
once during cooking
Time foods for first side
per Broiling Guide_
Turn food, then use times
given for second side as
a guide to preferred done-
hess (Where two thick-
nesses and times are
given together, use first
times given for thinnest
food )
Step 7: When Broiling is completed
touch CLEAR/OFF Serve food immedi-
ately, and leave pan outside oven to cool
during meal for easiest cleaning
Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes, Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fail into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spat-
ter and smoking,
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate, Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with
tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side
often with butter.,
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position, Broil for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide Turn food only once during broil-
ing.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface However, spraying
the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray
before cooking will make cleanup easier
