Cook food on a grill
To cook food over strong heat, usually on metal bars above a fire or heat source.
Kullanım kalıbı:
to grill [food] (for [time])

Eş anlamlılar
barbecue (Often suggests outdoor cooking with smoke and a social event.)
|
broil (Mainly American English for cooking with strong top heat in an oven.)
Zıt anlamlılar
boil (Means to cook food in hot water instead of over direct dry heat.)
