BROILING

GENERAL RULES

Broiling is cooking by direct

heat from the upper element

The oven door should remain

opened to the broil stop lock

position during broiling,

ft 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.

Foil must be molded tightly to

the grid and slits eut into the foil
to match those of the grid. This
allows fats aod liquids to drain
into the broiler pan, preventing

fire and excessive smoke.

Always remove the pan
and grid from the oven.
Storing or forgetting a

soiled broiler pan in the

oven is a potential smoke

or fire hazard.

»

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 closer you place foods to the broil

element, the faster foods brown on the outside

yet remain red to pink in the center

The U.S. Department of Agriculture notes
that meat cooked rare is popular, but meat

cooked to only 140°F(rare) means that some
poisoning organisms may survive.

Moving meats away from the element will allow
the meat to cook to the center while browning

on the outside. Using this positioning, 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.
