Broiling

Broiling is a fast and efficient cooking technique that uses high heat from above to cook food quickly. It gives it a crispy, caramelized exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. It’s similar to grilling but with the heat source located above rather than below. Typically done in an oven, broiling is perfect for cooking meats, fish, vegetables, and even some fruits. It provides a charred, flavorful finish in a short amount of time.

How It Works:

When you broil food, it is placed on a broiler pan or a rack, and the heat source is set to a high temperature. The food cooks quickly, as the intense heat sears the surface, creating that desirable crispiness and rich browning. Broiling is often done with the oven door slightly ajar to allow air circulation, preventing the food from steaming and ensuring even cooking.
