Cooking One of the keys to extending your range of grilling capabilities is a fundamental understanding of the two common methods of cooking, Direct and Indirect cooking.

This method is used in searing for example where you require high and immediate heat to quickly brown the outside layer of meats thereby sealing in their juices to enhance flavor.
