Speaking of, if it’s been a while since you cleaned your oven, consider doing that first, or else you could be dealing with a whole lot of acrid smoke.Īvoid using glass dishes under the broiler. And never walk away from a broiler in action, as things can easily burn. Generally, you should turn the broiler on and let it preheat for 5 minutes before putting in your food-which you may need to rotate during cooking time to get everything evenly done. A gas broiler will emit actual flames, while an electric broiler will have coils or wires that glow when hot. Most broilers are on the “roof” of the oven, but sometimes they’re on the bottom, and can even be in a separate compartment underneath.
The best option you almost definitely already have: the broiler built into your oven! If you’ve never used it before, there’s no need to be afraid, but you might want to do a practice run to get acquainted with just how hot your broiler gets (and how fast), as well as the optimal placement of food relative to your heating element.
