BROILING TIPS
• Preheat the broiler for at least 5 minutes for improved performance.
• Placing food on broiler rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray and

reduce the fat in the foods being broiled. it also helps to eliminate or prevent smoking

from the broiler.

• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake pan/drip tray.
• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks

midway through broiling cycle.
