The result is a roast that is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.

The Convection Roast feature is particularly effective for larger cuts of meat, such as whole chickens, turkey, or roasts.

The circulating hot air also helps to create a beautiful, golden-brown crust, enhancing the flavor and presentation of your roast.

Broil

The Broil function on your LG Double Oven Electric Range allows you to achieve a perfectly browned and crispy surface on your favorite foods. This high-heat setting utilizes an upper heating element to create intense heat, ideal for quickly searing steaks, grilling vegetables, or toasting sandwiches.

Consult your manual for recommended rack positions and distances from the heating element, as different foods require varying levels of heat exposure. It’s also crucial to keep a close eye on your food while broiling, as it can cook very quickly.

For best results, use a broiler pan with a grid to allow excess fat to drip away, preventing flare-ups and ensuring even browning. Be sure to rotate your food halfway through the broiling process to ensure even cooking on all sides. The Broil function is a versatile tool for adding a crispy finish to your meals, allowing you to achieve restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.
