Using the oven.
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This
guide is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
Adjust rack position or broil
setting to achieve different
results. Move food closer
to the broil element for
greater searing and less
internal doneness. For less
searing,meat that is cooked
through, and thicker cuts
of meat use rack positions
further from the broiler or use
broil low.
† Cook food thoroughly to help
protect against food borne
illness. Minimum safe food
temperature recommendations
for food safety can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov. Make
sure to use a food thermometer
to take food temperatures.
Broiling Guide
Preheat the broiler for 2 minutes to improve performance.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the
broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.
