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

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.
