Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broii
burner.Tender cuts of meator marinated meat should

be selected for broiling. For best results steaks and

chops should be at Jeast%“thick.

After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on
the rack in the lower broiling compartment. The
recommended rack position and cooking time can be

found in the chart at right.

The closer the food is to the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink

in the center. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown­ing outside. Side one should be cooked 1 -2 minutes
