out-
side edges
of meat
To slash,
cut crosswise
through
outer
fat surface
just to the edge
of the meat.
Use
tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing
meat and
losing juice&
3. if desired,
marinate
meats
or chicken
before
broil-
ing. Or brush with barbecue
sauce
last 5 to 10 min-
utes only

food on pan, do not let fatty edges
hang over sides, which could
soil oven with fat drip-
ping.

or to increase
browning,
preheat
