are grilled foods really cancerous? i mean why do chefs and even nutritionists recommend it? i want to buy a grilling pan since that would cut down the oil i use for cooking but am having doubts since they say grilled foods are cancerous.

i hope that well done in grilling isn't charred. i think it is very common in our philippine culture to like well done foods than the rare and medium rare ones. i hope that when we do our foods well done in the grill, which of course would produce more burnt grill marks, that isn't charring it...

Eating food cooked on a grill isn't cancerous. But you have to be careful you clean off the char and the burnt portions, because the burnt food contains certain compound which can cause cancer under certain circumstances.
