Operation
General Charbroiling Tips
PREHEATING
The broiler must be preheated before cooking. We
recommend a preheat time of 10-15 minutes. After
preheating, the broiler will be hot enough to cook on
without sticking and will produce the proper searing
effect.
COOK ZONES
There are three separate cooking zones on your
MagiKitch’n charbroiler:
•
The front 1/3 of the broiler is the coolest section.
•
The center 1/3 of the broiler has medium heat.
•
The rear 1/3 of the broiler is the hottest. (even though
it is the farthest from the burner in the tilt position)
The three cook zones enable more efficient cooking
without flame adjustment. It is possible to cook a rare,
medium and well done steak in the same amount of time
simply by placing the product in different cook zones.
The cooking process can also be slowed or increased by
moving product between zones.
FLARE–UP
In charbroiling, a certain amount of flare–up is desirable
in order to flavor the product. However, excess flare–up
burns product and leaves a bitter taste. Generally, flare–
up increases with the heat of the broiler and the fat
content of the product.

The cook zones can be used to advantage during peak
periods. High fat product can be cooked in the cool front
section, while lean product is placed on the hotter rear
section. This allows for better control of flare–up and
product quality.
