What is a cooking method in which you cook food directly under or over source of heat?

The cooking method in which you cook food directly under or over source of heat is called grilling. In grilling, the food is placed on a grate and cooked while being exposed to direct heat from below or above. For example, you can grill a steak by placing it on a grill grate directly above a charcoal fire or on a gas grill, directly under the heat source. This method works well for foods that do not require extensive cooking time and can withstand high heat, such as meats, vegetables, and certain fruits.
