Broiling? Grilling? What’s the difference?

Retry Correct Incorrect Both broiling and grilling are cooking methods that involve high heat but differ in how the heat is applied. Broiling uses heat from above, while grilling uses heat from below. Grilling also involves cooking food directly on a grate, while broiling typically involves placing food on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Broiling heat can be controlled, unlike grilling.
