Yes Alice, you are correct. The grill pan on an English stove is called a Broiler here. I was horrified when I came to the US and my first stove had a broiler on the bottom. Think storage drawer in England. I couldn't imagine on having to get down on all fours to see how things were cooking. Any stove I bought later always had the broiler as Alice described, at the top of the oven. I gave up broiling here and use it rarely now. I have a separate electric grill (Quisinart) that I can use open or closed on my worktop. The ridged plates go in the dishwasher so it is great for clean-up. Having grown up with the canned corn beef, I use that for a cabbage,potato, onion and CB dish I do in the microwave which my family love. Since the Falklands war, I always look for Brazilian CB rather than Argentinian CB. Weird as I have traveled to Argentina and loved it and the people, but I always look for Brazilian. It is very hard to find in the supermarket these days and has shot up in price. I found one at Aldi but it was more like Spam than CB so will avoid that one. Maybe that is what people here are used to. It was horrible.

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 [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
