Preheat for 5-10 minutes. Let that fire get truly furious. Slide in your food and watch it transform.
Don’t walk away. Not for a second. The broiler is impatient. One minute it’s golden, the next it’s smoking like a villain’s lair. Set a timer for 2-3 minutes, then check.
Flip your food halfway. The top gets all the love, so give the bottom a turn. Use tongs—not your fingers, unless you enjoy bandaids.
Quirky Fact
Professional chefs call the broiler a “salamander.” It’s named after the mythical fire lizard. So you’re basically taming a tiny salamander in your kitchen. Cool, right?
