One of the most striking sights on the dinner table is a piece of chicken or a slab of zucchini with a black crust striped down the side. This blackened area on a well-cooked piece of fish, meat, or vegetable — hot from the grill or the stove — promises a crisp crust and smoky flavor.
But is this food blackened or charred? Is there a technical difference between these two terms for the cooking style that leaves the most evidence of its primal contact with fire?
