ANSWER: WHEN YOU’RE WEARING APPROPRIATE CLOTHING FOR BARBECUING FOOD, WHAT ARE YOU? DRESSED TO GRILL.

Grilling

Cooking Method • Food Prepared Over Direct Heat

Overview

Grilling is a cooking method that uses direct radiant heat to cook food, often at relatively high temperatures. Meat, fish, vegetables, and many other foods can be grilled, producing distinctive browning, aromas, and flavors.

How It Works

Food is placed on or near a heated cooking surface, commonly above charcoal, burning wood, gas flames, or an electric heating element. The intense heat quickly cooks and browns the exterior while the interior reaches the desired temperature.

Charcoal Grilling

Charcoal grills use burning charcoal as their heat source. Many cooks favor charcoal because the hot coals and smoke can contribute characteristic flavors and aromas to foods prepared over them.

Gas Grilling

Gas grills typically use propane or natural gas and are popular for their convenience and temperature control. They can heat quickly and allow cooks to adjust burners to create different temperature zones across the grill.

Popular Foods

Steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, seafood, corn, peppers, onions, and other vegetables are commonly prepared on grills. Marinades, spice rubs, sauces, and wood smoke can add additional layers of flavor.

Tradition

Cooking food over fire is one of humanity’s oldest culinary practices. Modern grilling continues that tradition and has become closely associated with backyard gatherings, picnics, cookouts, holidays, and warm-weather meals.
