Broiling Tips fhs fire. Flour may be explosive.
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to
the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not onlydepends on the distance from the element, but on the thickness
and age of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second.
Frozen meats also require additional time.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid.
