What is Grill (cooking)?
[[File:Grilled cajon shrimp.jpg|thumb|Grilled cajon shrimp]] A '''grill''' is an object used for cooking [[food]]. With a grill, food is usually [[roast]]ed. Some grills use [[charcoal]] or [[wood]], and other grills use [[propane]] [[gas]] to cook the food. Using wood or charcoal makes [[smoke]] and changes the flavor of the food.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Grills|first=Premium|date=2020-06-06|title=Does Grilling with Charcoal Taste Better?|url=http://premiumgrills.com/does-grilling-with-charcoal-taste-better/|access-date=2021-05-14|website=Barbecue Grills & More|language=en-US}}</ref> Using gas does not. Some people only like one type, and some people like both kinds of grilling. The heat may be added underneath the food, or above, or both. A [[barbecue]] is a typical machine for outdoor cooking using [[coke (fuel)|coke]] or other fuel for providing heat from underneath. Overhead grilling is more usual indoors, especially in professional kitchens. In [[Canada]], there are cook-off grills, which are competitions. The most common meats used are [[steak]], [[Hamburger|burgers]] and [[hot dog]]s. Grilling food is very common for holidays or celebrations like the [[4th of July]] (United States Independence Day). Most people use a grill more outdoors in the [[summer]] time. Grills can have fire touching the food. This might cause a burnt taste and could possibly be a [[carcinogen]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Egan|first=Sophie|date=2019-06-27|title=10 Ways to Lower the Cancer Risk of Grilling|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/27/well/eat/10-ways-to-lower-the-cancer-risk-of-grilling.html|access-date=2021-05-14|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> == Related pages == * [[Asado]] * [[Barbecue]] {{-}} == References == {{Reflist}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Cooking appliances]] [[Category:Cooking methods]]
