Broiler Pan And Rack 2 - GE Appliances XL44 JGBP24 Use & Care Manual And Installation Instructions

BROILING GUIDE
The oven door must be closed during broiling.
• Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer tat surfiace just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing the juices.
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 fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could
soil the oven.
° The broiler compartment does not need to be
preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to
increase browning, preheat if desired.
° Frozen steaks can be broiled by positionin_ the shelf
at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking
time given in this guide 1 ½ times per side.
