View Full Version : Help Prevent My Next (lamp chops!) Kitchen Fire

I was too embarrassed to admit that a few weeks ago when broiling some loin lamp chops, I had yet another kitchen fire. I was doing the Hoisin marinated chops in the recent lamb chop thread here and precisely followed the directions which said to put the oven rack three inches from the broiler, then put the chops on a rack over a foil covered sheet. Within four minutes of the six-per-side broiling time, they were in flames. Out came the baking soda, and the chops were actually edible, flame crusted and rare, almost cooked through, though far from perfect.

I'm doing the recipe again today. The chops are marinating now.

My first question is, using an electric broiler, should I opt for the high or low setting my range offers? I used high last time. Or should I just take the oven rack down another level and adjust the six minutes up a bit?

This is my last meal before major dental work this afternoon, so I'd really like to enjoy the chops, not to mention avoid another fire.

TIA,
Bob

OMG Bob!! Thank goodness for the baking soda!! Did you have to rinse off the chops?! :)

I'd probably lower the rack and adjust the time - just me... I hate to broil right under broiler - it never turns out for me :o

Let us know how it goes - Good luck!!! ;)

Yikers!!! :eek:

Too cold to grill outdoors?

I'l lower the rack. I don't know what folks are smoking when they say to put rack 3 inches below the broiler! That's a fire waiting to happen......

Dental work? Yuck.....

Maybe they meant the top of the chops should be 3 inches below the broiler.

We just fire up the grill. My broiler is a glorified toaster for the most part. ;)

Oven broiling Place oven rack 3 inches (7.5 cm) from broiler. Preheat broiler. For easy cleanup, line a shallow- sided baking sheet with foil. Place a rack on foil and arrange chops on top.

I haven't bought a grill yet. I got priorities. :)

The lamb chops were delicious. Thanks to MIDDYDD. Now I get to try my new, improved mouth out at dinner.
