Broiling is cooking food by intense
radiant heat from the upper unit in
the oven. Most fish and tender cuts
of meat can be broiled, Follow
these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to aminimum.
Step 1: If’meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2-in. apart. If
desired fat may be trimmed, leaving
layer about %-in. thick. Step 5: Turn OVEN SET Knob and
OVEN TEMP Knob to BROIL. Pre-
heating units is not necessary.(See
notes on Broiling Chart page 34.)
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack
in broiler pan which comes with
range. Always use rack so fat drips
into broiler pan; otherwise juices
may become hot enough to catch
fire. Aluminum foil may be used to
line broiler pan and rack. But, be
CERTAIN to cut opening in foil, to
correspond with slots in ~herack so
fat drips into pan below.
Step3: Position shelf on recom-
me~ded shelf position as suggested
on Broiling Chart on page 34. Most
broiling is done on Cposition, but
if your range is connected to 208
\olts, you may wish to use higher
position.
,
Step 4: Leave door ajar about 3
inches. The door stays open by
i{self,yet the proper temperature
ismaintained in the oven.
Step 6: Turn food only once during
cooking. Time foods for first side
as on Broiling Chart page 34, Turn
food, then use times given for sec-
ond side as aguide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 7: Turn OVEN SET Knob to
OFF. Serve food immediately,
leave pan outside oven to cool
during meal for easiest cleaning.
Questions and Answers
Q. ShouldIleave the door ajar
when broiling chicken?
A. No, The door should be closed
when cooking chicken and shelf
position “A” is recommended.
Q. May Iuse aluminumfoil to line
the broiler pan and rack?
A. Yes,if you mold foil thoroughly
to broiler rack, slittingit to con-
form to slitsin rack. Slits permit
proper drainage of meat juices into
broiler pan, minimizingsmoking
and spattering and preventing pos-
sibility of fire from overheated
drippings. Do not place sheet of
foil on oven shelf.To do so may
result in improperly cooked food
and possibledamage to oven finish.
Q. Should Isalt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate,
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat with
afork also allowsjuices to escape.
When broiling poultry or fish,
brush each side often with butter.
Q. Whenbroiling,isitnecmsaryto
alwaysusearackinthe pan?
A. Yes.Using the rack suspends the
meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, thejuices fallinto the pan
thus keeping meat dryer. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Do 1needto greasemy broiler
rackto preventmeatfrom sticking?
A. No, The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat sticking to the surface,
Q. Why aremy meatsnot turzd~g
out as brownas theyshould? -
A. In some areas, the power (volt-
age) to the range may be low. In
these cases, preheat the broil unit
for 10minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven,
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelfposition, Broil
for the longest period of time indi-
cated in the Broil Chart in this
book, Turn food only once during
broiling,
