I have an oven..

But how can I "grill" something on it? Are there any special pans or something I can use?

The oven is the big part with the door, you're talking about the stove, or "range".

Alot of the flavor from grilling comes from the charcoal (or propane or whatever), and the (lack of) humidity/smoke/etc. There are some pans that have ridges on the bottom like a grill, it would be similar to grilling but not 100% the same.

It's called a BROILER...

(upside down grilling)

yes, you need a broiler pan which consists of a pan to catch drippings and the slotted tray that fits on it to hold the food.

Broiling runs only the upper element in the oven, but basically full blast. You put the upper oven rack on the top slot, and the

broiler pan on that. When you broil, leave the oven door open to the first position (usually a 3 or 4" crack) to prevent the

oven from overheating.

For a medium-rare, 1" steak, I broil for 4 minutes, turn and then another 3 1/2 minutes............. YUMMIE :D

have fun!

PS: you sound new to this, so PLEASE don't try it until you know what a broiler is and how to turn it on and use.... it is VERY
different from just turning up the oven temperature as high as it goes.......... DON'T do that!

I saw part of an infomercial once where they had this gigantic pan that covered all 4 burners, and it had grill thingies in it. Shrug.

use the broiler, it cooks fast though, works well for hot dogs, better than boiling them if you dont have a bbq, just watch your food though
