The size of the grill you need is another important factor. If you frequently entertain large groups, a larger grill with ample cooking surface area will be ideal. Conversely, if you’re mostly cooking for yourself or a small family, a smaller model may suffice.
Studies have found that eating grilled meat or chicken may increase your risk of developing cancer. During the grilling process, cancer-causing substances called carcinogens may be formed. When charring, burning or grilling meat, poultry, and fish, there are two kinds of potentially carcinogenic compounds that form in the cooked food: heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In laboratory experiments, HCAs and PAHs have been found to be mutagenic. In other words, they cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer.
