BROILING CHART
It is not necessary to preheat oven(s) when broiling. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Most
foods should be turned halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5).
For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
*When broiling fish, spray broil pan with cooking oil. Do not turn fish filets.
For hamburgers that have rare interiors and seared exteriors, broil less time on the first side.
