Direct Cooking on a Gas Grill

The food must be turned during
grilling to cook on both sides.

Direct cooking means that you place the food directly over the fire. It is a faster cooking method because more intense heat is provided and allows for browning on the outside of foods. This method of grilling works well for foods that require short cooking times such as burgers and/or foods with a low fat content, such as well-trimmed steaks and chops.
