chargrills

Grills over coals

Chargrills is the third-person singular verb form of chargrill, meaning to cook food over high heat on a ridged grill surface that creates characteristic blackened lines: The chef chargrills the vegetables until they're slightly smoky.

As a plural noun, chargrills refers to the cooking equipment itself—grills designed to produce those distinctive seared marks.
