Recommended Broiling Times
Use the broiling table below
for approximate recommended broiling times for the types of meat listed. It might be necessary to
increase or decrease broiling times or adjust the broiling pan to different rack positions. If the food you are broiling is not listed in
the table, follow the instructions provided in your recipe and watch the broiling process closely.
IMPORTANT!
Broil with oven door closed.
Broil Auto Shut Off:
Always broil with the oven door closed. If the door is left open
for more than one minute when the oven temperature is above 350°F, the control will beep reminding you to close the door. If the
door remains open for another 30 seconds, the oven will turn off.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F
(60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA) The
lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC).
Note: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from
flame. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.
