Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Be sure you
center the broiler pan directly under the broil element for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
Broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use
a pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
r • liiMliEko Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can
cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
