Broiling VS Grilling Are They Alike?
Almost everyone loves to use the grill. Sometimes the grill just doesn’t fit into the picture. The weather might be bad or you find you have no charcoal or the propane tank is empty. Don’t be upset. Broiling is the next best thing to grilling. No broiling isn’t exactly the same as grilling but it’s just as good. What are the differences? Well let’s take a look.

Broiling VS Grilling Are They Alike?
Broiling uses intense direct heat when cooking just like grilling. Even though it is in a closed in box the food is cooking like it’s in an open space. Broiling requires an on eye on the food to keep it from burning just like grilling.
Broiling gives the food a rich juicy taste and gives it a pretty golden brown color. Broiling reaches those characteristics differently than the grill. Here is how they differ:
1. Ovens Thermometer
You might think this would make it simpler to cook, being able to know exactly what temperature your food is cooking at. In fact you could face more of a challenge. When the oven reaches the temperature its set to reach it will automatically cut itself off. It does to keep the cooking temperature it at the programmed temperature. The only problem with that is your food is left cooking in its own heat. A wonderful way to avoid this is to crack the oven door so that the oven never reaches its set temperature. This allows the food actually to broil.
2. Broiling Cookware
One of the key factors when broiling is separating the fat and greases from the food. If they don’t separate, instead of broiling the food will actually bake. This is why there is a need for a broiling pan. It’s a specially designed pan that allows the “extras” to drip to the bottom of the pan and away from the food. Making food that much healthier.
3. Keep an Open Eye
With any method of cooking there always needs to be a watchful eye. Some forms of cooking may allow walking away for extended period of time but that is not the case when broiling. You have to be very cautious and attentive to make sure not to burn the food. Remember the oven isn’t monitoring the heat itself you are the one that has to do it.
4. Space
The amount of smoke is another issue one must face when broiling. Because the food is not being cooked outside like when grilling there is nowhere for the smoke to go but in your house. The way to help eliminate the amount of smoke is by trimming the fat off the meat. This will be healthier as well as helping to keep the smoke out of everyone’s eyes.
Broiling might not give you that charcoal taste but it certainly offers some pretty special things. Try broiling and you are sure to learn the techniques and fall in love with the experience.
