Cooking meat directly above the flame of a gas stove What's the easiest way of cooking meat holding it over the flame of a gas stove burner? Is there any device to help with it? How I am doing it right now is holding a skewer a couple of inches over the flame. What annoys me more is the oil dripping on the stove and having to hold it.
Stoves aren't grills. They're not meant to have food in contact with them. If you're doing something like warming a tortilla above it that's fine, but as soon as you mention things dripping into the flame that's a red flag, especially if it's fat. You really don't want to start a grease fire, especially one that's down in the burner.

A couple alternatives:


use an actual gas grill, outside
use the broiler in your oven, with a broiler pan (they have grates so the food is held above the pan)
use a very hot skillet or a tabletop/countertop electric grill; it's not the same but it's still good!
