Helpful Tips for Broiling in Oven or Range

Tips for Broiling in Your Whirlpool Oven or Range

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food

  • Experiment with different rack positions. Start with the bottom position.
  • The top rack position will sear the outside rapidly, while the inside will be rare.
  • Center the broiler pan on the rack.
  • Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices.
  • Very thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may not need to be turned.

To reduce smoke when broiling

  • For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
  • For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
  • Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
  • After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
