Broiling

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element

of the oven.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the utensil before

preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to

BROIL as instructed in the Owner's Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot,

usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on 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.

Determine Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the

distance from element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and
doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips

Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the

high heat of the broiler.

DO NOT use a pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The

exposed grease could ignite.

A CAUTION

___________ I 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 fire extinguisher.

DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips (some models):

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broilergrid 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 FIOT, 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.
