preheating the broiler and positioning

† 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
Close the door. Always broil with the door
closed.
Place the meat or fish on a broiler
grid in a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature
and your preference for doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature.
