Oven "Broiler" Why is it a broiler with the same flame?

So why are you not to anxious to put anything in a propane oven?

We had propane in our house until about 10 years, now we have natural gas, the food taste the same, am I missing something here?

I like cornbread to much to give up the oven. Fresh out of the oven.

And I also bake things for dinner too. When I make spaghetti, I need to have that with broiled toast.

To each their own.

Troll? Just kidding, and only because I just finished reading your other post of the night.

The reason a electric range has a "Broil" setting is to shut off the lower heating element and turn on the upper heating element. There is no heat cut-off for the broiler setting to my knowledge, but it might have a safety cut-off around 400 - 500F.

In a gas range - including my RV, the oven can be set to 400F and even higher up the dial is "Broil" - I am guessing that means the burner will not shut off until the oven is scorching hot, so if you happen to like your steak really well broiled, the flame will stay on for a really long time without cutting out once the oven is warm.

The only thing I have ever broiled in my RV oven is sourdough toast, already buttered, it comes out great. However in the home range, I have cooked a steak once. Most of the time I prefer the BBQ.

I don't think I would own a RV without a oven.

Yeah, I guess I guess there is room to slide a sheet pan in there. Not a lot of clearance to the flame!

But like you say, watch it!

Well in our oven I slide the sheet pan under the bottom cover so my goodies are below the flame.........watch it closely
I do my nachos in the microwave....ain't got time to wait for the broiler when it's snack time 40 secs and I'm scarfing :B

'Broil' on the knob just allows the flame to stay on vs other temp settings where main flame will go out then relight as temp is satisfied then drops temp.
