Broil, Grill and Griddle
Loosely speaking grilling and broiling refer to a similar cooking process. In grilling, the heat source is below (like with a barbecue grill); in oven broiling, it’s above. Both grilling and broiling involve intense heat. But strictly speaking, overhead broiler is the typical operation of Broiling, which cooks food with the heat radiated from the top of the ingredients. Grilling refers to baking food on a grill, while Griddling is baked on a shallow plate or flat plate.
