sizzlers

Steaks still cooking

Sizzlers are things that sizzle—making the hissing sound of something cooking on high heat.

The word often names dishes served on hot metal plates that arrive at your table still sizzling: The fajita sizzlers came out smoking.

Figuratively, a sizzler is anything hot or exciting—a scorching summer day, a sensational news story, or an attention-grabbing performance.
