BROILINGMETHOD- Broiling is a method of
cooking tender foods by direct heat under the
burner. Generally, the distance between the
meat and the burner and broiling time
regulates degree of doneness.
Any steak for broilingshouldbe at least _
inchthick. Thinner cuts will be done before
they are brown and should be pan broiled
instead.
Veal and Pork should not be broiled; veal
becauseit is too lean; and pork because it
requires long, slow cooking to be eaten
safely.
Fish needsto be brushed in oil before broiling
and placed skin side down in greased broiler
pan.
Chicken needs to be less than 3 lbs. and
occassionally basted with fat (will need a
lower rack setting).
