& Answers

Q. Whyshould I leavethe door
dosed when broilingchicken?

A. Chickenisthe onlyfood

recommendedfor closed-door
broiling. This is becausechickenis
relativelythickerthanother foods
youbroil. Closingthedoorholds
‘moreheatin the~venwhichallows
chickentocookevenlythroughout.

Q.When ‘broiling,is it.newssary
toalwaysuse a rackin the pan?

A. Yes.Using the rack suspends
the meatoverthepan. As the meat
cooks,the juices fallintothepan,
thuskeepingmeatdrier. Juices

are protectedbytherack and stay
cooler,thuspreventingexcessive

spatterand smoking.

Q.ShouEdI

broiling?

A. No. Saltdrawsout thejuices

and allowsthemto evaporate.

Alwayssalt after cooking.Turn

meat‘withtongs;piercing meat

witha fork also allowsjuices to

escape. When broilingpoultry

or fish, brush each side often

with butter.

Q.Whyare my meats notturning

out as brown as they should?

A.In some areas, the power

(voltage)to the ovenmaybe low.

In thesecases, preheat the broil

unitfor 10minutesbeforeplacing

broiler pan with food in oven.

Check to see if youare using the
recommended shelfposition. Broil
for longestperiod of time indicated
in the BroilingGuide. Turn food
only once during broiling.

AeNo. The broiler rack is designed ~
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping

the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from stickingto the surface.
However,sprayin~the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetablecooking

spraybefore cooking will make

cleanup easier.
