Space evenly. Up to 8
patties may be broiled
at once.
Steaks less than 1"

frying is
recommended. Slash
fat.
Broil skin-side-down
first.
Cut through back of
shell. Spread open.
Brush with melted
butter before broiling
and after half of
broiling time.
Handle and turn very
carefully. Brush with
lemon butter before
and during cooking, if
desired.
Increase time 5 to 10
minutes per side for 1
1/2" thick or home-
cured ham.
