• Broiling is a calorie-cutting technique because no added butter or oil is necessary and fats naturally present in the meat are left behind in broiler pan.
• Preheat broiler according to the manufacture's instructions.
• For easier clean-up, spray the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick spray coating.
• Place well-trimmed lamb on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.
• Measure from the source of heat to the top of meat and broil according to the suggested cooking times.
• Turn lamb over after half of the broiling time.
• Use tongs to turn chops and steaks to avoid the loss of natural juices.
• Season, if desired, and serve immediately.
