Broil
Tips
Broil Chart
w
Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poul-
try and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with
the door closed. The benefits of broiling include:
•
Fast and efficient cooking.
•
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
•
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
•
Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
•
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
•
Use the broil pan and grid included with the oven.
•
Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from
the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
•
Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see Broil Chart for exam-
ples).
•
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as
Corningware® .
•
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex® ); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
