Charbroiler

FOR BEGINNING-TO-END CREATIONS OR JUST THE FINISHING TOUCH

If your rangetop has a charbroiler, think of it as your indoor grill. Anything you

would normally make on a grill, you can make on your charbroiler. And true to

its name, it provides that light charred ﬂ avor your favorite burgers and grilled

vegetables require. Steaks (and your taste buds) appreciate the searing-hot high

end of the charbroiler’s temperature range, while poultry and grilled fruit prefer a

lower, steady heat. The following recipes show the true range of your charbroiler—

it is for so much more than burgers.

down on the grill and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly charred. Remove

from heat and place on a serving platter. 3. Place the pound cake on the

MAKES COOK TIME

Arrange food at a 45-degree angle to the grates (think ten o’clock to four o’clock).

After the food is one-fourth of the way cooked, rotate 90 degrees to the right. Flip

and repeat on the other side for enticing crosshatched grill marks.
