Grilling

Direct heat, char and smoke. Several of these start indoors — potatoes and dense vegetables are parboiled first so the grill only has to brown them, rather than trying to cook them through over a flame.
Sauces and marinades with sugar in them go on at the end. Sugar over direct heat burns in about a minute.
