Broiling information

Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with the appliance for broiling.

Preheating

Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove your broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.

To Broil

Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Determine Broiling Times

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than second. Frozen meats also require additional time.

BroilingTips

The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Grid

DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil.The exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the

oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Broiler Clean-Up Tips:

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil. Toprevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap- filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
