Remember this!
Broiler and grill are both methods of cooking food using direct heat. However, the difference lies in the heat source and cooking technique. A broiler uses heat from above and involves cooking food directly under high heat, resulting in a crispy exterior. On the other hand, a grill uses heat from below and involves cooking food over an open flame or hot coals, imparting a smoky flavor. While broiling is versatile and can be done indoors, grilling is often associated with outdoor cooking and is commonly used for barbecues.
