GRILL
When we say grill nowadays we usually mean either a grill pan that goes onto the hob or a barbecue. Using a grill pan is pretty much the same as pan-frying except that the pan touches the meat in ridges and the fat runs into the grooves.

PAN FRY
Often confused with saute pan-frying is also not to be confused with shallow frying. Pan-frying involves larger pieces of meat say a steak or chicken breast a very small amount of oil and not too much movement. Essentially it has replaced the overhead grill and is a far moister way of cooking meat. You need a hot pan but not searingly hot as pork needs longer than steak. Add a good drop of oil to the hot pan add the meat and then season with salt. Give the chops or steaks about 5 to 7 minutes each side until the juices run clear.
