Use of AluminumFoil
You can use aluminumfoil to line yourbroilerpan and broilerrack.However,
you mustmoldthe foil tightlyto the rack and cut slits in itjust likethe rack.
Withoutthe slits,the foil willpreventfat and meatjuices fromdrainingintothe
broilerpan.Thejuices couldbecomehot enoughto catchon fire. If you do not
cut the slits,you are frying,not broiling.
Questionsand Answers
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broilerrack is designedto reflectbroiler
heat,thuskeepingthe surfacecoolenoughto
preventmeatfrom stickingto the surface.
However,sprayingthe broilerrack lightlywith a
vegetablecookingspraybeforecookingwill make
clean-upeasier.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes.Usingthe rack suspendsthe meatoverthe
pan. As the meatcooks,thejuices fall into the pan,
thus keepingthe meatdrier.Juicesare protectedby
the rack and stay cooler,thus preventingexcessive
spatterand smoking.
28
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Sak drawsout thejuices and allowsthemto
evaporate.Alwayssalt aftercooking.Piercing
meatwith a fork also allowsjuices to escape.
Turnmeat with tongsinsteadof a fork.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. In someareas,the power(voltage)to the oven may
be low.In thesecases,preheatthe broilelementfor
10minutesbeforeplacingbroilerpan with food in
the oven.Checkto see if you are usingthe
recommendedshelfposition.Broilfor the longest

Whenarrangingfood on the pan, do not let fatty

● Thebroilerdoes not needto be preheated.However,
for very thin foods,or to increasebrowning,preheat
if desired.
● Use LO Broilto cookfoodssuchas poultryor thick
pork chopsthoroughlywithoutoverbrowningthem.
● Frozensteakscan be broiledby positioningthe oven
shelfat nextlowestshelfpositionand increasing
cookingtime givenin this guide 1Xtimesper side.
● If your cookingcenter is connected to 208 volts,
rare steaksmay be broiledby preheatingthe broiler

Alwaysuse the broilerpan and rack thatcomeswith
youroven. It is designedto minimizesmokingand
spatteringby trappingjuices in the shieldedlower

●
The oven door should be open to the broil
