BroilingTips:
Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The
broiler insertmustbe inplace toallowfat and liquidtodrain to
the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and flare-ups.
Improper use may causegrease fires.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this
prevents fat from draining into pan below.For easier clean
up, linethe broiler pan with foil and spray the insert with a
non-stick vegetable spray.
Remove excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep
meat from curling. This also reduces smoking and
spattering.
Place oven rack in the correct rack position when oven is
cool. For darker browning, place meat closer to the broil
element. Place meat further down ifyou wish meat tobe well
done or ifexcessive smoking and flaring occurs.
If meat is cooking or browning too quickly, you can reduce Broiltimes may need to be increased ifwall oven isinstalled
