The convection broil mode is well suited for cooking
thicker, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convec-
tion Broil is typically not recommended for browning
breads, casseroles and other foods.
The benefits of Convection Broiling, in addition to the
benefits of standard broiling, include:
•
Faster cooking than standard Broiling.
Best Results:
Do not preheat oven.
Meats should be at least 1 1/2" thick.
Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time
(See Convection Broil Chart for examples).
Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is
designed to drain fats and oils away from the
cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
Salt after cooking.
