Cook food on a grill
To cook food over strong heat, usually on metal bars above a fire or heat source.
Модель употребления:
to grill [food] (for [time])
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "grill" with "fry" or "bake". "Grill" means cooking with strong direct heat, usually from below (or from above in an oven), not in a pan full of oil (fry) and not with gentle all‑around heat in an oven (bake).
Синонимы
barbecue (Often suggests outdoor cooking with smoke and a social event.)
|
broil (Mainly American English for cooking with strong top heat in an oven.)
Антонимы
boil (Means to cook food in hot water instead of over direct dry heat.)

Cooking device with metal bars
A machine or tool for cooking food on metal bars over strong heat.
Модель употребления:

Синонимы
barbecue (Often refers specifically to an outdoor grill and the social event around it.)
Антонимы
oven (An enclosed cooker that uses surrounding heat rather than open direct heat from below.)

Частая ошибка:

Синонимы
interrogate (More formal and often used about police, military, or official questioning.)
Антонимы

Casual restaurant serving grilled food
A simple, not very expensive restaurant that sells meat and other food cooked on a grill.

Learners sometimes think "grill" always means only the cooking device. In names like "Tom’s Grill" it usually means a type of casual restaurant.
Синонимы
diner (A casual, often American-style restaurant; a diner may serve a wider range of foods, not just grilled items.)
Антонимы

Protective or decorative framework
A hard cover with bars or many holes that protects or decorates the front of something, like a car or a vent.

Частая ошибка:

Синонимы
grille (An alternative spelling often used in technical or design contexts, especially for cars.)
Антонимы
solid panel (A flat, unbroken surface without openings, the opposite of a framework with holes or bars.)

Decorative jewelry for teeth
Shiny jewelry that some people wear over their front teeth, usually made of metal and sometimes diamonds.
Модель употребления:

Синонимы
grillz (A slang spelling often used in hip-hop culture; usually plural, but refers to the same type of tooth jewelry.)
Антонимы
natural teeth (Teeth without any decorative cover or jewelry.)
