Broiling
oiling
1. Always use broiler pan and rack
that comes with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.
2. Oven door
be open to the
broil stop position for all foods
except chicken.
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat
evenly around outside edges of
meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through outer fat surface just to the
edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn
meat over to prevent piercing meat
and losing 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 pan, do
not let fatty edges hang over sides,
which could soil oven with
fat dripping.
6. Broiler does not need to be
preheated. However, for very thin
foods, or to increase browning,
preheat if desired.
7. Frozen steaks can be
conventionally broiled by
positioning the oven shelf at
next lowest shelf position and
increasing cooking time given in
this guide 1 ‘/z times per side.
