Broil
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper ele-
ment:
The broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender
cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fi sh. It can also
be used to brown breads and casseroles.
The benefi ts of Broiling include:
•
Fast and effi cient cooking.
•
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
•
Browning as the food cooks.

Oven Modes
For Best Results:
•
Do not preheat oven.
•
Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
•
Brush fi sh and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
•
Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
•
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is
designed to drain fats and oils away from the
cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
•
Turn meats once halfway through the recommended
cooking time (see broil chart for examples).
•
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or
glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
•
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
