BROILING
GENERAL RULES
Broiling is cooking by direct
heat from the upper element.
The oven door should remain
opened to the broil stop
position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven when
broiling. Use the broiler pan and grid that
came with your range. Both are designed for
proper drainage of fat and liquids.

PRBPARING MEA TS FOR
BROILING
• Choose tender cuts of meat at least 3/4'
thick for broiling.
• Trim the outer layer of fat, slit the edges to
keep meats from curling.
• Always use tongs to turn meats. Piercing
meat allows juices to escape.
• Salt the first side of meats just before
turning, the second side just before
serving. Brush chicken and fish with butter
several times as they broil.
• Chicken and fish should be placed on the
grid skin side down. For fish, lightly grease
the grid to prevent sticking.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture notesthatmeat
cooked rare is popular, but meat cooked to only
14CPF (rare) means that some poisoning
organisms may survive.
The closer you place foods to the broil element,
the faster foods brown on the outside yet remain
red to pink in the center.
Movingmeatsawayfromtheelementwillallowthe
meat to cook to the center while browning on the
outside. Usingthispositioning, cook side 1 at least
2 minutes longer than side 2. If your oven is
connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position and/or broil foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of the doneness
of the meat will affect broiling. This chart is based
on meats at refrigerator temperature.
