OVEN USE

Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this pre heat. The cooking time is determined by the distance from draining into pan below. between the meat and the broil burner, the desired degree

of doneness and the thickness of the meat. Trim excess fat and slash remaining fat to helI

from curling and to reduce smoking and spatk Season meat after cooking.

Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The broiler insert must be in place to allow fat and liquid to Place oven rack in the correct rack position wl drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and cool. For darker browning, place meat closer t flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires, burner. Place meat further down if you wish m

well done or if excessive smoking or flaring o¢

For easier clean up, line the broiler pan with foil and spray See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 21 for i the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray. Do not cover on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.
