AI think your description of 'grill' matches ours (USA) of 'broiler'. The broiler is the top element in an oven, used on high setting. It cooks fast, from the top.
We use 'grill' for cooking on a rack over heat (like an outdoor barbecue) and sometimes on a frying surface that has raised ridges to give the effect of cooking on a rack (commercial restaurant version).

I have a microwave oven, a gas cooker which consists of an oven, a grill (a wire mesh over a tray on which you put the food with the heat above) and hobs, and a few electric gadgets such as toasted sandwich maker and toaster, but have never heard of a broiler. Boiling yes, broiling no. Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
