THE SECRET TO SEARING
The intense, radiant heat produced by the broiler can create an
entire dish from beginning to end—as with thin steaks, chops, or
fish—or add the finishing, browning touch to more delicate items
like pie meringue. It is also a great alternative to grilling outdoors.
Proceed with a dash of caution, though. Food under the broiler can
finish cooking in a matter of minutes, so it is best to keep a close
eye on your culinary creations. Try toasting a baguette or other
bread and topping it with various spreads, meats, and garnishes.
