If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes.
Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No.
Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry
or fish. brush each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A.
Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only
once during broiling.
