A grill apparatus for cooking small and delicate food is provided. The grill apparatus is a cooking grate having a plurality of apertures extending through the cooking area of the cooking grate. Because of the location and dimension of the apertures, a continuous line of the cooking area extends a length that is substantially less than the distance from one edge of the cooking grate to an opposing edge of the cooking grate to prevent warping of the cooking grate.

What is claimed is: 1. A grill apparatus for placement above a heat source, comprising: a cooking grate formed from sheet metal and having a cooking area, the cooking area having a perimeter that is positioned a distance from an edge of the cooking grate; and, a plurality of apertures extending through the cooking area, wherein the apertures are arranged on the cooking grate to substantially preclude uninterrupted extension of a transverse plane across the cooking area of the cooking grate. 2. The grill apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apertures are positioned in a recurring pattern on the cooking area of the cooking grate. 3. The grill apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a sidewall extending from the edge of the cooking grate. 4. The grill apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a plurality of apertures extending through the sidewall, wherein the apertures are arranged on the sidewall to preclude uninterrupted extension of a transverse plane between the apertures on the sidewall. 5. The grill apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apertures are elongated, and wherein a plurality of the apertures extends transverse to one another. 6. The grill apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of sidewalls extending from the edge of the cooking grate. 7. The grill apparatus of claim 6, wherein the sidewalls are not directly connected to an adjacent sidewall. 8. The grill apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apertures comprise alternating vertical and horizontal slots. 9. A grill apparatus for placement above a heat source, comprising: a cooking grate formed from sheet metal and having a first edge, a second edge opposing the first edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge opposing the third edge; a cooking area located between the edges of the cooking grate; and, a plurality of apertures extending through the cooking area of the cooking grate, wherein the location of the apertures on the cooking grate precludes uninterrupted extension of a transverse plane across the cooking area and between the apertures thereof. 10. The grill apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a sidewall extending from one of the edges of the cooking grate. 11. The grill apparatus of claim 9, wherein a handle extends from one of the edges of the grate. 12. The grill apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a plurality of sidewalls extending at an angle from the cooking grate, the sidewalls having a plurality of apertures therein. 13. The grill apparatus of claim 9, wherein the apertures are elongated, and wherein a plurality of the apertures extends transverse to one another. 14. The grill apparatus of claim 9, wherein the cooking area is substantially flat. 15. The grill apparatus of claim 12, wherein the sidewalls are not directly connected to an adjacent sidewall. 16. A grill apparatus for placement above a heat source, comprising: a cooking grate having a plurality of opposing edges; a cooking area positioned between the opposing edges; and, a plurality of apertures extending through the cooking area, wherein a continuous linear line in the cooking area extends a length between the apertures, and wherein the length of the continuous line in the cooking area is substantially less than the distance from one edge of the cooking grate to an opposing edge of the cooking grate. 17. The grill apparatus of claim 16, wherein the apertures are provided in a recurring pattern about the cooking area. 18. The grill apparatus of claim 17, further comprising a plurality of sidewalls extending from the cooking grate, the sidewalls having a plurality of apertures therein in the same pattern as the apertures in the cooking area. 19. The grill apparatus of claim 16, wherein the apertures comprise transverse slot. 20. The grill apparatus of claim 19, wherein the apertures comprise alternating vertical and horizontal slots. 21. A grill apparatus for placement above a heat source, comprising: a cooking grate having a plurality of apertures extending through the cooking grate, and a cooking area of the cooking grate extending around the apertures, wherein the apertures are dimensioned such that any continuous linear line in the cooking area between the apertures and extending in a first direction extends a distance less than 40% of an overall length of the cooking grate in the first direction. 22. The grill apparatus of claim 21, wherein the continuous line of the cooking area between the apertures and extending in the first direction extends a distance less than 30% of an overall length of the cooking grate in the first direction. 23. The grill apparatus of claim 21, wherein the continuous line of the cooking area between the apertures and extending in the first direction extends a distance less than 20% of an overall length of the cooking grate in the first direction.
