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

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:
•

•
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
•

from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering
