How do you grill in an oven?

Want to take grilled recipes to the oven? Use the broiler! While a grill cooks from underneath, a broiler cooks from above. You can get beautiful browning without ever firing up a grill. The broiler and grill are a very similar cooking process, but you do need to monitor your meat closely when using an oven broiler to prevent scorching. You can read more about grilling in your oven on WikiHow.

What do you do with skewers before grilling?

Remember, if you’re using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes before grilling to keep them from catching fire and burning.

You can use these metal skewers without a problem, just wear an oven mitt when rotating them as the edges can get hot. Another alternative is to use a grilling basket or grilling cage.
