Broiling tips
• Always start broiling with a cold broiler
pan for even results.
• To retain more natural juice, do not
pierce meat with a fork.
• Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks
and chops.
• Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from
curling during broiling.
• Use a nonstick cooking spray or
vegetable oil on the broiler pan and grid
when broiling fish to prevent sticking.
• See “Broiling” earlier in this section for
additional broiling tips.
