Use the “high” setting. Most broilers will have just an “on” or “off” option. But some may also have “high” or “low” settings. In general, keep your broiler set to high and ignore the low setting. If you are using the low setting, you are really just roasting your food, not broiling.

Broiling uses only top-down heat to completely cook delicate food or just crisp and brown the top of already-cooked dishes. Baking uses moderate temperatures to cook food. Broiling uses top-down heat at high and extra-high temperatures to brown or crisp the top of food.
