How to Set the Oven for Broiling

BROIL HI/LO pad again.

Close the door. Always broil with
the door closed.
Broiling Guide
The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature and
your preference of
doneness will affect broiling
times. This guide is based
on meats at refrigerator
temperature.
† The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide.
