All Fired Up

摘要

When humans first began using an open fire to cook food, their instruments of choice were fairly simple: a stick or flat stone. These early devices, though primitive by standards of today's kitchen, laid the groundwork for an evolution in food preparation, and for the two modern appliances that can now be found in nearly every com-mercial eatery: the grill and the griddle. From wood grills to infrared griddles, there are many varieties to choose from, each one with an individual personality and function. This article is intended to help navigate through this often dizzying array, and provide a clear understanding of which grill and griddle option is right for your kitchen.
