broiling

Broiling is a way to cook food. It is similar to baking but it uses different kinds of heat. With broiling, the heat comes from above the food instead of from below like it does in baking. When you broil something you usually put it under a special kind of heat source like a broiler. The heat from the broiler causes the food to cook quickly and it can make the food extra crispy and browned.
