The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
tThe U.S. Department of
Agriculture says "Rare beef is
popular, but you should know that
cooking it to only 1A0°F means
some food poisoning organisms
may survive." (Source: Safe Food
Book, Your Kitchen Guide. USDA
Rev. June 1985.)
The upper oven has 2 rack positions.
** In general, higher rack positions
yield darker external searing and
lower positions yield more doneness.
For best results, the broil pan should
be oriented parallel to the broiler.
