Broil
53
Shelf levels
Select the shelf level according to the
thickness of the food.
– Thin cuts: Shelf level 4 or 5
– Thick cuts: Shelf level 2 or 3
Broiling duration
Thick pieces of fish and meat take
approx. 6-8 minutes per side. Thicker
pieces will take longer. It is best to broil
food that has a consistent thickness at
the same time so each piece cooks
evenly.
Testing doneness
Always follow USDA guidelines for
safe food temperatures.
Tip::
If the surface of a thicker cut of
meat is browned but the center is still
raw, move the food to a lower level or
reduce the temperature and continue
cooking. This will stop the surface from
becoming too dark.
