How can I reduce the smoking that frequently happens when broiling foods using a broiling pan?
Smoking during broiling occurs when grease hits your hot broiler oven pan and gets too hot. To reduce the smoke often associated with broiling foods indoors in an oven broiler pan, follow one or more of these simple tips: • Use Water. Fill the broiler pan with about 1/4″ of water. This keeps the fat and juices from drying up and getting too hot. • Lower Oven Rack. Carefully lower your baking rack on your oven to increase the space between the food/broiler pan and the top element. Your broiler pan may be sitting too close to your top oven element. • Remove Excess Fat. Remove excess fat from meats and other fatty foods, prior to broiling. • Use Less Oil. Cut back on oil-based marinades. • Don’t Overcook. Avoid overcooking foods • Clean Your Broiler Pan. Broiler pan should be cleaned after EVERY use.
