USING THE OVEN (continued)
Broiling
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
broiling. The latch Is used for self-cleaning only.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the
food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.
Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking
to a minimum.
It is recommended that meat be cooked to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160T (71°C) and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C).
Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
The oven door should be closed during broiling.
Turn the food only once
during cooking, Time
the foods for the first
side according to the
Broiling Guide.
Turn the food, then use
the times given for the
second side as a guide to
the preferred doneness.
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.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart,.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about ’/a" (3 mm) thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan
which comes with the range. Always use the grid so fat
drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may
become hot enough to catch fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position
as suggested in Broiling Guide.
4. Close the oven door but do not latch it If the door
latch Is moved to the right during a broil operation,
the door may lock and you may not be able to open
it until the oven cools
5. Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, press the BROIL HI/LO pad
again.
. Press the START pad.
7. When broiling is finished, press the STOP/CLEAR pad.
Serve the food Immediately, and leave the pan outside the
oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning,
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts
of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.
