Broiling Guide
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature
and your preference
of doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
†
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.)
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
IMPORTANT:
To avoid possible burns, place the
racks in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler
grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the
Broiling Guide.
The oven door
must
be closed
during broiling.
Touch the
BROIL HI/LO
pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to
LO Broil,
touch the
BROIL HI/LO
pad again.
Use
LO Broil
to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
Touch the
START/ON
pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
Serve the food immediately, and leave the
pan outside the oven to cool during the
meal for easiest cleaning.
Always use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your oven. It
is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping juices
in the shielded lower part of the
pan.
The oven has 7 rack positions.
