The location of the broiler element in an oven can vary depending on the oven's design and model. In some ovens, the broiler element is located at the top of the oven cavity, near the ceiling. This is often referred to as a "top broiler" or "overhead broiler."
In other ovens, especially in many modern models, the broiler element is placed at the bottom of the oven, near the oven floor. This is known as a "bottom broiler."
There are also ovens that have both top and bottom broiler elements, offering more versatility in cooking and broiling options. These ovens typically have separate broiler settings for top and bottom broiling.
The broiler element is used to apply intense, direct heat to food, allowing it to brown and develop a crispy texture quickly. Depending on your oven's configuration, you may need to adjust the broiler pan's position and cooking time to achieve the desired results when broiling.
To know the exact location of the broiler element in your oven, it's best to consult the oven's user manual or contact the manufacturer for specific information about your oven model.
