Use this chart for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move
the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit personal preference for doneness. If the
food you are broiling is not listed in the time chart, follow the instructions provided in your
cookbook and watch the item closely.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
