Broil/Max 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.
To use the broil pan and grid:
• For normal Broil: food should be placed in the center of the broil pan and grid.
• For Max Broil: food should be spread out over the entire broil pan and grid.
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.
Broil/Max Broil Chart

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
Max Broil uses a larger broil element which allows you to broil
more food at one time. See "Max Cook" in "Basic Features" for
more information.
