Broiling Guide
The oven door must be closed during broiling,
• 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 pane
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside
edges of meat.. To slash, cut crosswise
through outer fat
surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn
meat over to prevent piercing
the meat and losing
juices.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling..
Qr brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

° When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because dripping fat
could soil the oven,
= The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired,
o Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick pork
chops thoroughly without over browning them
° 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 't1/_ times per side,,
