Broil
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 time
Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
take 6–8 minutes per side.
When broiling thicker pieces, each side
will take a bit longer. Make sure that the
pieces have roughly the same thickness
so that their broiling times do not vary
too greatly.

Testing doneness
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
Preparing food for broiling
Rinse the meat under cold water and
pat dry. Do not season the meat with
salt before broiling, this will draw out
the juices.
Brush the meat with oil, if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can easily burn and cause smoke.
Clean fish as usual. To enhance the
flavor, salt or lemon can be added.
