In reply to:

The kind of cooker/(stove?) that is usually found in a British home has a separate grill, usually above the oven with the food cooked under the heat in a "grill pan" (a two tier affair with a rack resting above an oblong metal tray, as described). I read that US cookers usually have an oven which doubles as a grill if only the top element is used.

How on earth do Americans make cheese on toast (aka Welsh rabbit/rarebit)? Surely they don't make it in the oven. it would make such a simple snack far too much trouble.
