Use of AluminumFoil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in itjust like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Make sure you tuin the knob all the way to the
BROIL position.
When broiling is finished,turn the Oven Temperature
knob to OFF. Serve the food immediately, and leave
the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for
easiest cleaning.
