General Directions concerning Broiling

As to Mutton and Pork Steaks, you must keep them turning quick on the Gridiron, and have ready your Dish over a Chaffing dish of hot Coals, and carry them to Table cover’d hot. When you broil Fowls or Pigeons always take Care your Fire is clear, and never baste any Thing on the Gridiron, for it only makes it smok’d and burnt.
