• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are
designed to drain excess liquid and grease away
from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter,
smoke, or fire.
• If you broil small quantities, you may want to use
a small broiler pan. You can get them in the
housewares section of many department stores.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
• To make sure the grease drains well, do not use
cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.
• Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil
burner.
Broiling ^uide
Recommended rack positions are numbered from
the bottom (1) to the top
(5). For best results, turn
meat after approxi­
mately %of the broiling
time. Turn chicken
pieces after approxi­
mately half of the
broiling time. Very thin
cuts, such as fish fillets,
may not need to be
turned at all. Lobster
tails are not turned.
• The broiling rack position determines how the
burner cooks your food. The lower the position, the
more broiler grid area covered. See “Broiling
guide” below for more information.
• To sear meat, place the broiler pan at one of the
higher rack positions so that meat is very near the
flame.
• Thin (%") steaks may be broiled in the higher rack
positions.
• To cook thick (1 '/
2
") steaks and other thick cuts of
meat well done, move them to a lower rack posi­
tion after searing them.
• After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven
when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on
the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.
