•
Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
•
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
•
Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the
oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it.
This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
•
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
•

BROIL
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the temperature, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and
poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
NOTES:
•
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
•
For best results, use a two-piece broiler pan with a grid (not provided).
It is designed to drain juices which helps to avoid spatter and smoke.
•
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan
may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
•
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to
avoid curling.
•
Select HI Broil 550°F (288°C) for most broiling. Select LO Broil 450°F (232°
C) for low-temperature broiling for foods that take longer to cook, such as
poultry, to avoid over browning.
•
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use
tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or
meat may not need to be turned.
•
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning
more difficult.
•
Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the
oven rack. Close the oven door and set the control.
To Broil:
The temperature can be set from 450°F (232°C) to 550°F (288°C).
1. Place the food in the oven, preheating is not necessary.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press BROIL. “BROIL” and “Set temp or START” and “550ºF” (288ºC)
will be displayed.
