Grill
Grilling is a cooking method that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, typically from above or below. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled is cooked on a grill, a grill pan, or griddle. Heat transfer to the food when using a grill is primarily by thermal radiation. Heat transfer when using a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction.
In the United States, when the term "grilling" is used, it generally refers to cooking with a gas or charcoal grill, although some people use electric grills.
