OVEN CONTROLS
Important notes:
•
Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
•
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the
food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking.
•
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, **Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that
cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe
Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the
USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown
are after 2 minutes of preheating.
