First things first, you've got to preheat your oven, and I mean, really preheat it, like, to the highest temperature it can go. This is where the magic happens, folks! While that's heating up, you can start prepping your food, whether it's seasoning that steak or tossing those veggies in some olive oil.
Now, here's the part where most people get a little nervous, but don't worry, I've got you covered. You're going to want to place your food on the broiler pan, and make sure it's in a single layer, so everything cooks evenly. It's like playing a game of Tetris, but with food, and that's always a win!
