What can I do instead of broiling?

The best substitute for a broiling pan is a roasting tray with a wire rack insert. You can use the roasting tray as-is, but the wire rack helps the juice separate from the food. Other useful alternatives include cast-iron griddle pans and sheets, roasting trays, baking sheets, and aluminum trays.

What is the difference between baking and broiling?

Baking and broiling are cooking techniques that use the dry heat of an oven. Baking is best used for foods with a liquid or semi-solid structure that needs to solidify during the cooking process, while broiling is best used to quickly cook thin pieces of food.

Can you bake on a broiler pan?

What you can do is remove it from the broiler and place it in the oven. Cook the food in the oven as usual at low heat to ensure it is cooked all the way through. You can do the opposite as well – roast or bake the food first and then place it under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes to give it a nice sear.

Why do oven elements burn out?
