BROILING GUIDEThe oven door must be closed during broiling.• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes withyour range. It is designed to minimize smoking andspattering by trapping juices in the shielded lowerpart of the pan.• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly aroundthe outside edges of the meat. To slash, cutcrosswise through the outer fat surface just to theedge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over toprevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thickpork chops thoroughly without over browning them.• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling.Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fattyedges hang over the sides because dripping fat couldsoil the oven.• The broiler compartment does not need to bepreheated.
