Broiling meats at high temperatures can cause the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are carcinogenic compounds. Roasting and marinating before cooking can also lead to the formation of some HCAs and PAHs, but the levels are generally lower than broiling. Wrapping the food in foil or steaming are less likely to produce these harmful compounds.
