Oven broil setting too intense, food burns easily in Montreal model

Rachel Taylor · · 3 replies

My oven’s broil setting in Montreal is way too harsh—food burns quickly even on the lowest rack. Anyone else notice this with older ovens? Wondering if there’s a way to adjust the broil temperature or maybe a trick to broil without burning?

Try placing the rack farther from the heating element if possible, or lowering the oven temp a bit during broil.

Some ovens can’t adjust broil temps; just keep a close eye and flip food frequently.

I put a pan of water underneath to reduce heat intensity, works for some dishes.
