Cooking Tips for Broiling Cooking Tips for Toasting ■ Broiling times may be shorter in the Advantium oven because of the use of halogen lamps. Make sure to monitor food closely to get the desired results. ■ For best results when broiling, place food directly on the metal grill tray. ■ Broiling meats in the oven may produce smoke. ■ If preheating the oven to broil meat, preheat with the metal grill tray in the oven and place food on the hot metal tray for best searing of meat. ■ Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time. Dense foods such as meaty, bone-in chicken pieces should be turned about 3/4 of the way through broiling time. ■ Remove thinner pieces as needed to prevent overcooking and drying. ■ For best results when toasting, use the metal tray. ■ Most foods should be turned over 2/3 of the way through toasting time when not preheating. ■ When using the preheat option, turn food halfway through the cooking time. ■ To crisp exterior but maintain moistness inside foods, preheat the oven. ■ To crisp exterior and crisp the inside too, do not preheat the oven. ■ Toast thicker pieces a longer time, thinner pieces a shorter time. 19
