How to Set Your Oven for Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat
from the upper element in the oven. Most fish
and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and smoking to
a minimum.
If the meat has fat or gristle around
the edge, cut vertical slashes through
both about 2 ″ apart. If desired, fat
may be trimmed, leaving layer about
1/8 ″ thick.
Place the meat on the broiler grid in
the broiler pan which comes with
your range. Always use the grid so
the fat drips into the broiler pan;
otherwise the juices may become hot
enough to catch fire.
Place the shelf in position C for most
broiling.
Close the door. Always broil with the
door closed.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob
clockwise to BROIL. You will feel
a slight niche at the broil position.
You may then turn the knob
counterclockwise to broil at a
lower temperature.
Turn food only once during
cooking.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
Serve food immediately, and leave
the pan outside the oven to cool
during the meal for easiest cleaning.
Use of Aluminum Foil
■ You can use aluminum foil to line your
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
■ Without the slits, the foil will prevent
fat and meat juices from draining to the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not
broiling.
■ DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil
on the shelf. To do so may result in
improperly cooked foods, damage to
oven finish and increase in heat on
outside surfaces of the oven.
■ If desired, a sheet of aluminum foil may
be used on floor of the oven under the
bake element. Be certain foil does not
touch bake element.
Aluminum foil
used in this way may slightly affect the
browning of some foods. Change foil
when it becomes soiled.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
To reset the oven for Baking you
must turn the OVEN TEMP knob to
OFF. This gets it out of the BROIL
mode.
