The super macro guessing game (5)

dog water dish?

Who me?

I thought the previous one had to be a grill - as I assume was obvious.
We just call your thing cooker rings, top plate rings, or hob rings, maybe even a boiling ring. Stove is out of fashion, like "Wireless".

We would definitely use them for boiling water though ?!? Grill elements aren't ever that shape.

Actually the spiral type is also just about gone now - only poor people have those.

In the Southeast U.S. we consider grills items where you cook the food directly on the "grill." Usually a grill is used outside so that meat can be exposed directly to a flame either from charcoal, wood, or gas.The other type of grill that is common is one like they use in a short order restaurant or Japanese steakhouse. Those grills are large metal surfaces where the whole thing is used to cook the food for several people at once.

No one here would think of an appliance where you place the food on it in a pot or a pan first as a grill.

As for that type of stove being for poor people, I live in Mississippi. We aren't known for being rich like they are were OhLook (and others on here) live.

Does the new object support a spherical object (Chet, don't even start!)

Is it considered a small wooden bowl.

I was thrown, because I asked in a cryptic way if it boiled water. Cos them rings, we puts pans on, and the answer was no. I won't lose sleep..

Cooker/oven elements can be ring-ish, but grills are usually rectangular, hence thinking of that.

Domestic Grills are as Ohlook was thinking, I think, for use where the food doesn't touch the element. It lays on a "grill" but the heat is an inch or so above the food. Commercial grills are more likely to be charcoal burner copies, with open bars across, flames under.

Most of the UK has mains gas, which is preferred for top plates, apart from halogen hob and induction hob devotees.
I/We have a 5kW (17kBtu/hr) fast ring, made popular by Chinese restaurants for woks.
All this stuff costs a lot more in the UK than the US. I've seen $20 microwave ovens in the US - no chance of that here.

I've never heard anything like any of those called an "eye"!

A grill is the same thing here, basically a grate. Food cooked on a grill often has parallel black stripes where the hot metal bars charred it. I must have missed the day when everyone in California became rich, because we still have a stove.

No, we call that a broiler. A grill sits over the heat source.

Those grills - are they domestic appliances?

There's an oven company here "Stoves", but the freestanding combination thing is usually a "cooker". Regional variations in nomenclature, apply.

We have to have an appliance sized proportionally to our wealth, and inversely proportional to the amount the thing gets used. I think it's law.... (Ovens are sized in terms of Jurassic turkeys just in case they aren't extinct.) If it's hardly used at all, one has to throw it away and buy a new one even more frequently. I have repaired ours, but that's not something which can be admitted in polite conversation.

"Broiler" isn't a commonly used term, and it would only mean something commercial. Brat pans, Salamanders, and other big things are commercial only.

I guess you asked in too cryptic of a way. I don't know which question you are referring to. If you want, quote the post so I can know what you are talking about. If you asked if it would be used to boil water, I am certain I would have answered in the affirmative.

Calling a stove element an eye is archaic. The people born in the late 1800's and early 1900's are who I have heard call them eyes.

My reference to your location was toward San Francisco proper. The average Mississippian could not afford to purchase a home in your city so they would need to live somewhere on the other side of the bay. In my area a really nice house purchased by a two professional income household would be around $250,000 to $300,000. Unless things have changed in SF that price of a home would buy one room flat or a run down shack. Not implying people in your state are all rich just that the average person in my area is not (by comparison.)

A broiler here is an oven that has a top burner that is used to char or brown food under high heat. Your link looks like what we would consider a broiler.

"Broiler" more usually means some sort of chicken, here.

I'm near Wimbledon. 2 bed apartments $1m+ are nothing special at all. 500 sq ft maybe.
