foodwill roastand not broil.

Useonly the broiler panand gridthat camewith your

range for broiling. They are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids and help preventspatter, smokeor fire.

Do notpreheat when broiling. For evenbroilingon

both sides,start the food on a coldpan.

●

Whenbroilingfrozenmeat,use one rackpositionlower than recommended and up to 1 1/2 times the sug-

gested broilingtime.

Trimthe outer layerof fat from steaksand chops. Slit the fatty edges to keepthe meatfrom curling.

For maximumjuiciness, saltthe first sidejust before turning the meat. serving.

Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil Whenbroilingfish, grease the gridto keepit from sticking and broil with skin side down. It is not necessaryto turn fish.
