a.
Use the off-set or half-rack (if available) only in the top position.
b.
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Always watch
food carefully to prevent burning.
c.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some
food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature
recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.
