Qwestioins & Answers
Q. W hen broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the m eat over the
pan. As the m eat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spat­
ter and sm oking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A, No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always sait after cooking Turn m eat with
tongs: piercing m eat with a fork also allows juices to
escape. W hen broiling poultry or fish, brush each side
often with butter,
Q. W hy are my m eats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Check to see if you are using the recom m ended
shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide, Turn food only once during broil­
ing.
0. Do I need to grease m y broiler rack to prevent
m eat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent
m eat from sticking to the surface However, spraying
the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray
before cooking will make cleanup easier
