Broiling
Broiling times vary depending on a
meat’s thickness, fat content, and
personal taste. Always be careful
when handling hot broiler pans. Use
both hands and oven mitts when
handling. Serious injury can result
due to spillage of hot grease.
Gas Broiling
Never leave a dirty broiler pan in
place. Always clean it and return it to
the broiler assembly. Unauthorized
broiler pan substitutes should never
be used. Excess fat should be
trimmed from meats to eliminate the
possibility of flame ups. The meat
could be ruined or fire could occur,
causing loss of property and potential
bodily injury.
Always broil with the oven door and
broiler door closed. When broiling is
completed, turn the dial to OFF, let
the broiler cool completely, and
remove the broiler pan temporarily
for cleaning.
NEVER USE THE GAS BROILER
AREA FOR STORAGE.
Electric Oven Broiling
The electric broil element is located
at the top of the electric oven cavity.
For best results, follow these
suggestions:

Place oven rack in position #4
(See FIG. 17 on page 15).

Turn the oven dial counter-
clockwise to BROIL.

Place food on roasting/broiler pan
provided with the oven. After top
broil element begins to glow red,
place food in the oven.

Always broil with the oven door
closed. The oven thermostat will
maintain the temperature while
food broils.

To reset the oven for baking,
simply turn the dial clockwise to
desired baking temperature. Broil
element will switch off and the
bake element will come on.
Broiling Tips
Tender cuts of meat or marinated
meats are best for broiling. For best
results, steaks should be at least 1”
thick. Thinner steaks should be pan
broiled.
Do not cover broiler grill with foil
since this prevents fat drippings from
draining into the bottom of the pan.
To make cleaning easier, spray pan
and grill with non-stick spray.
Before broiling, remove excess fat
from meat and score edges of fat to
prevent meat from curling. Salt after
cooking if desired.
To prevent drying of fish or lean
meat, brush melted butter or oil over
surface before broiling.
Foods that require turning should be
turned only once during broiling.
Use recipe directions as a guide to
broil time.
Reversible Griddle/Grill
The griddle is equipped with a cast
iron plate that is reversible for use as
a grill. To flip the griddle to the grill
side or vice versa, simply lift up the
griddle by the front edge, flip over
the plate, and place it back in the
housing.
The griddle/grill plate is pre-seasoned
and ready to use.
Griddle Cooking
Preheat griddle at 450°F for 12-15
minutes. Once preheated, turn dial to
desired temperature.
Use liquid cooking oil, cooking
sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes,
French toast, fish, and sandwiches.
This will help to reduce sticking.
Remove food particles during
cooking to make the clean up easier
and to avoid including these particles
in the cooked food. Do not use sharp
objects to scrape or clean the
griddle/grill, as these can scratch the
cast iron surface.
Direct the flow of grease to the center
of the grease well.
Do not over-heat the griddle. Turn it
off when not in use, or lower heat
between cooking loads.
