8. amp Answers Q When broiling is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan A Yes Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan As the meat cooks the juices fall into the pan thus keeping the meat drier Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking Q Should I salt the meat before broiling A No Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate Always salt after cooking Turn the meat with tongs piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape When broiling poultry or fish brush each side often with butter Q Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should A Check to see if you are using the recommended broil position Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide Turn the food only once during broiling Broiling Guide The oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling e Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan e For steaks and chops slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat To slash cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices Food Thickness Bacon 1 2 lb 227 g about 8 thin slices Ground Beef 1 1b 450 g 4 patties
