Broil
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the 
upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to 
cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less), 
poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown 
breads and casseroles. Always broil with the 
door closed.
The benefits of Broiling include:
Fast and efficient cooking
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
Browning as the food cooks
For Best Results:
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking
Use the broil pan and grid included with your range
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®); they can’t tolerate the high temperature.
