Broiling BROIL (Infrared Broil) The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal screen until it glows. Heat radiates from the GourmetGlo™ infrared broiler located at the top of the oven cavity. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For “fast” broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on the top rack. “Fast” broiling is best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired.
