Why should I leavethe door closedwhen broilingchicken? A. Chickenis theonlyfood recommendedforclosed-door broiling.This is becausechickenis relativelythickerthanotherfoods youbroil. Closingthe door holds moreheatin theovenwhichallows chickento cookevenlythroughout. Q. Whenbroiling,is it necessary to alwaysuse a rackin the pan? A. Yes.Usingtherack suspends the meatoverthepan. As the meat cooks,thejuicesfallintothepan, thuskeepingmeatdrier.Juices are protectedbythe rack andstay cooler,thus preventingexcessive spatterand smoking. Q. ShouldI saltthe meatbefore broiling? A. No. Saltdrawsoutthejuices and allowsthemto evaporate. Alwayssalt aftercooking.Turn meatwithtongs;piercingmeat witha fork alsoallowsjuicesto escape.Whenbroilingpoultry or fish, brush eachsideoften withbutter. Q.
