Discussion

There is some discrepancy between the use of the term "to grill". From one point of view "grilling" is the direct application of heat to a food surface, using conductive heating e.g. a barbecue grill, or grilled chicken. Another point of view or use of "grilling" is using a radiant style heating grill e.g. a grilled cheese on toast.
