Convection and Combination Cooking
Helpful hints for broiling
• Foods that are suitable for broiling should be
tender, moderately lean, and less than 2 inches
thick. Fish steaks, chicken breasts, and
hamburgers are ideal for broiling.
• Always use the Broiling Rack with the Drip Pan
underneath.
• For even browning, turn food over halfway through
broiling.
• Do not leave the door open for long periods of time
when using the broil element. This will cause the
oven temperature to drop and could affect cooking
performance.
