To reduce the levels of carcinogens in meat, researchers say:

Lower the temperature when pan frying.

Before grilling, microwave meat for a few minutes and pour off the juices, which contain many precursors of carcinogens.

When grilling, don't let flames lap at the meat; wrap it in foil.

Cook meat in water or another liquid to prevent it from getting too hot.

Cut away meat that is burned or charred.
