Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always nse a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fail into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter
and smoking.
O. Should 1 salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with
tongs; piercing meat with a fork allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side
often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven
may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for
10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in
oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only
once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keejping the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface. Kowevcf, spraying
the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray
before cooking will make cleanup easier.
