If you miss having the speed and convenience of a turbo broiler, we know how you can use your oven as if it were a turbo broiler. The change from an oven to an appliance that is like a turbo broiler is easy and simple. Most modern ovens have both of these settings, and both can be turned on and off. These settings are:

• • top heat
• • oven fan

The main heating element of the turbo broiler is on the heavy lid. The lid also houses the fan. It's these two functions that can help your oven mimic the turbo broiler.     

If you have these two settings on your oven, you can turn your oven into a turbo broiler. Here's how to do it: 

1. 1. Turn the oven on and set it to the desired temperature. 
2. 2. Turn the bottom heat "Off" and the top heat "On". 
3. 3. Turn "On" the oven fan. 
4. 4. Place your oven rack as close as possible to the top heating element with just enough room for your baking pan or dish to fit. 
5. 5. Place your food in the oven and turbo broil in the time indicated in the recipe, adjusting the broiling time as needed.
