• Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed
to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping
juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
• The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5
to 10 minutes only.
