However, you must mold the foiltightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meatjuices from draining to the broiler pan. The juicescould become hot enough to catch on fire. If you donot cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.Questions and AnswersQ. When broiling, is it necessary to always use arack in the pan?A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over thepan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by therack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessivespatter and smoking.Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them toevaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn themeat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork alsoallows the juices to escape. When broiling poultryor fish, brush each side often with butter.Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to preventthe meat from sticking?A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broilerheat, thus keeping the surface cool enough toprevent the meat from sticking to the surface.However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with avegetable cooking spray before cooking will makeclean-up easier.(continued next page)23
