Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil
element of the oven.
The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode
is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick.
Always preheat the oven for 4 minutes before broiling.

Leave the door open at the broil stop
position. The door will stay open by itself,
yet the proper temperature is maintained in
the oven.
CAUTION
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn the oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire
or use a foam-type fire extinguisher. Do
not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can
explode and water can cause a grease fire
to spread and cause personal injury.
Broiling Recommendation Guide
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your doneness preference
will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. Always preheat the oven for
4 minutes before broiling.
