I also learned what a char broiler is, but both are expensive here too.

You might want to try to pan sear the salmon in a non-stick skillet (without marinading or saucing), then pour the sauce into the skillet about 1 minutes before salmon is done and let it form a glaze over the fish (turning the fish once and watching it like a hawk to make sure it doesn't burn)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-87879095887094385552009-05-11T09:46:00.000-04:002009-05-11T09:46:00.000-04:00Dear Helen,

Thus, the situation is different, for in South America ovens never come with a broiler. What I wonder is if there's an independent device that goes by that name and can achieve such a beautiful browning effect.<br /><br />Thank you again,<br />David.David B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01773676757993616681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-69138115849205393952009-05-09T13:26:00.000-04:002009-05-09T13:26:00.000-04:00Hi David,

Older gas ovens in US have it on the bottom with a separate drawer. To broil something means to set it about 4 inches away from this heating element and let it brown. I find that the broilers in electric ovens don't normally brown well, and the ones in gas ovens work well because they have a real flame there. I am not sure if ovens in Europe have the same broiling feature. From what I hear, it's called "grilling" in the UK.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-43496739570177792322009-05-09T09:24:00.000-04:002009-05-09T09:24:00.000-04:00Helen,

I fail to see a translation for that in Portuguese and have never seen this product. I wonder if you could tell me what it's like, show me pictures or something, because I would really like my meat to have that beautiful browning.<br /><br />Thanks a lot!David B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01773676757993616681noreply@blogger.com
