BROILING GUIDE
1. Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes
with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.
2. The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing the juices.
4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.

5. When arranging food on the pan, do not let
fatty edges hang over the sides. These could
soil the oven bottom.
6. The broiler does not need to be preheated.
However, for very thin foods, or to increase
browning, preheat if desired.
7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning
the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and
increasing cooking time given in this guide
times per side.
8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.
