Broiling
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

broiled_ Follow these directions to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.
The oven door should be closed
during broiling.
Turn the food only once
during cooking° Time the
foods for the first side
according to the Broiling
Guide°
Turn the food, then use
the times given for the
second side as a guide to
the preferred doneness
1o If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2" (5 cm) apart°
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8" (3 mm) thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan
which comes with the ranger Always use the grid
so fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices
may become hot enough to catch fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf posi-
tion as suggested in Broiling Guide.

latch is moved to the right during a broil opera-
tion the door may lock and you may not be able

ately, and leave the pan outside the oven to

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil
to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut
slits in it just like the grid°
Without the slits, the foil
will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the
broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire° If you do not cut the slits, you are frying,
not broiting_
Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes, Using the grid suspends the meat over the
pan_ As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping the meat drier. ,Juices are protected
by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing exces-
sive spatter and smoking°
Qo Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. Noo Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate Always salt after cooking° Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows the juices to escape° When broiling poultry
or fish, brush each side often with butter
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position, Broil for the longest period of time
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only
once during broiling.
