Broiling Guide
The oven door and broiler compartment
must be
closed during broiling.
o Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part
of the pan.
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling
Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only
• When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could
soil the oven
• The broiler compartment does not need to be
preheated, However, for very thin foods, or to increase
browning, preheat if desired
- Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the broiler
pan and grid at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide 1_/'_ times per side.
The size, weight,
thickness, starting
temperature and your
preference of doneness
wifl affect broiling times.
This guide is based on
meats at refrigerator
temperature.
lrThe U S Department
of Agricuffure
says
'Rare beef is popular,
but you should know
that cooking it to onty
t40°F (60°C) means
some food poisoning
organisms may
survive ' (Source:
