Broil
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poul-
try and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with
the door closed. The benefits of broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
• Use the broil pan and grid included with the oven.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from
the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see Broil Chart for exam-
ples).
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as
Corningware® .
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex® ); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
