BROILING GUIDE
Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded
lower
part of the pan.
The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around
outside 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 losingjuices.
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5
to 10 minutes only.

When arranging food on the pan, do not let Patty
edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat
will soil the oven.
The broiler does not need to be prehedted. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheut
if desired.
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at

cooking time given in this guide IY? times per side.
