1. Use the broiling tray that came with the oven so you don't start a
fire.
2. Preheat the broiler ( if this is a newer broiling element there is a
metal element that produced radiant heat)
3. Do not use the closest to the flame rack it tends to burn the food.
(or use it if you like Pittsburgh)
4. Make sure to leave the oven door ajar ( there will be a stop on the
door)
5. Mentally think of this a grilling from above
6. Keep an eye on the food being broiled & turn when the color is right.
7. As in grilling be sure to allow the meat to rest a few minutes before
serving or slicing.
