Specific use depends on the food being broiled but generally:

Move the oven rack to the top position in the oven. Place food on a broiler pan or a cookie sheet pan. Set oven to Broil for type of cooking and Broil for temperature (usually 550 degrees Fahrenheit or more). The electric element inside the ceiling of the oven will then get red hot, this is the broiling element. Place the pan with food on the top rack and close the oven. BE CAREFUL! Food cooks very fast and can catch on fire this close to the heat source.

Of course. The broil setting effectively heats the top coils only and constantly. That being said, while it works, it's not as good as cooking with fire.

Can pyrex go under the broiler?

Nooooooooooo!!!! Pyrex is not ever safe to freeze. Your answer no doubt comes as a surprise to all the cooks who have been baking casseroles in Pyrex, cooling them and sticking them in the freezer. After that they can go directly to the oven or be defrosted first. Ask the Pyrex people!


The oven fills with smoke every time you cook anything but it belongs to the landlord and you can't contact him?

Drippings and residue from previous oven uses may be burning and causing the smoke. Make sure the oven is properly clean both in the baking area and in the separate broiling area if there is one. Another possibility is a blocked air vent making it too hot in the oven causing things to burn. If their is a thermostat, it may be defective causing the temperature to be to high. If you don't want to pay to fix it yourself, you can use a neighbors oven until it gets fixed. You can also buy a relatively inexpensive broiler, convection oven, or toaster oven broiler to use until the problem is taken care of.
