Questionsand Answers
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. In someareas,the power(voltage)to the ovenmay
be low,In thesecases,preheatthe broilelementfor
10minutesbeforeplacingbroilerpan withfood in
the oven.Checkto see if you are usingthe
recommendedshelfposition.Broilfor the longest
periodof timeindicatedin the BroilingGuide.Turn
the food onlyonceduringbroiling.Youmay need
to movethe foodto a highershelfposition.
Q, When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes.Usingthe rack suspendsthe meatover the
pan. As the meatcooks;thejuices fall into the pan,
thus keepingthe meatdrier.Juicesare protectedby
the rack and stay cooler,thuspreventingexcessive
spatterand smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Saltdrawsout thejuices and allowsthemto
evaporate.Alwayssalt aftercooking.Turnthe
meat with tongs;piercingthe meatwith a fork also
allowsthejuices to escape.Whenbroilingpoultry
or fish, brusheach sideoften withbutter,
Q. Do I need to greasemy broilerrackto prevent
meatfromsticking?
A. No. Thebroilerrack is designedto reflectbroiler
heat, thus keepingthe surfacecoolenoughto
preventmeatfrom stickingto the surface.
However,sprayingthe broilerrack lightlywith a
