grilling
Intense questioning session
Grilling is cooking food over direct heat, typically on a grate above flames or coals: We're grilling burgers tonight.
The method produces charred marks and smoky flavor.
Grilling also means subjecting someone to intense, persistent questioning: The detective gave him a real grilling.
Both senses share the idea of applying heat.
