Aluminum Foil
!
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury,
property damage or fire, do not
line oven bottom, racks, or broiler
pan and grid with aluminum foil or
any other material.
When placed on the oven bottom or
racks, aluminum foil not only creates
a hazard, but also affects cooking
performance. To minimize spills in
the oven, place a shallow pan or
cookie sheet underneath food items
that drip or spill.
Broiling Hints
• Broiling does not require
preheating.
• Remove excess fat from meat
before broiling.
• Cut edges of meat to prevent
curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased
broiling pan. If pan is hot, food
sticks.
• All food except fish should be
turned at least one time.
• Begin broiling with skin side
down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Begin cooking using suggested
rack levels in Cooking:Broiling
section in the back of this manual
to test broiler results. If food is not
brown enough, cook on a higher
rack position. If food is too brown,
cook on a lower rack position.
• Oven door must be closed.
