OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking
by direct heat from
the upper element. The oven door
should remain open to the broil stop
position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling.
Use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your oven. Both
are designed
for proper drainage of
fat and liquids.
[_
If foil is used it must be
molded tightly to the
grid and slits cut into
the foil to match those
of the grid. This allows fats and
liquids to drain into the broiler
pan, preventing
fire and
excessive
smoke.
Always remove the pan and grid
from the oven. Storing or
forgetting
a soiled
z1!
broiler pan in the oven
is a potential smoke or
fire hazard.
The U.S. Department
of Agriculture
recommends
to cook meat and
poultry thoroughly--meat
to at least
an INTERNAL temperature
of 160°F
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures
usually protects
against food-borne
illness.
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center.
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside.
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2. If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position and/or broil foods
longer.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting
temperature
and your preference
of
the doneness
of the meat will affect
broiling. This chart is based on meats
at refrigerator
temperature.
