I'm not entirely sure.
it seems to have originated in the 1940s and 50s with early "electric cookers"
Kind of mid way between a modern stove and a turn-of-the-last-century wood fired cooker.

The elements in the cooktop (hob) could also be used as a broiler in a small compartment underneath, which they called a grill. Just big enough to fit a grill pan.
There was an ordinary oven underneath that.

I’m English. Isn’t broiling cooking in its own juices? Grills here are these things that heat up in the top of our ovens so it turns into a grill. Or a bbq has a grill. Frying pans don’t grill stuff.

I would assume because us brits don't grill as often in the American sense. I guess in america it is more worthwhile to implicitly state whether you are directly apply heat from above or below.


I would say "under the grill" = broil / "on the grill" = grill.

I think its also relatively obvious by context in most cases.

same reason we call a grill a bbq. because we invented the fucking language and that's what it's fucking called.

Because a grill is a metal mesh. Like the grill on a car etc.

When some fucker in UK was building the first electric ovens they were given picrel which as you can see has a grill on it. A metal grill. Which direction the heat comes from doesn't matter really.

In America someone took a metal grill and put a heat source under it. As such, you guys came to see a grill as heat from underneath and we saw it as heat from above but the actual grill is the metal that the food is put on.

i call it a broiler sometimes it depends who im talking to

Look inside a broiler
You should see a metal platform constructed from a lattice of thing metal rods
This arrangement is called a grill, derived from french but shared across a lot of languages, cognate with words like grate, grid, griddle
The appliance is named for this component
Broiler comes from the french bruiller, meaning to scorch or burn, so this named for the intented effect (although maybe a little to much if the wife is in the kitchen! Am I right fellas?!)
So you see both the names are quite appropriate and as with a lot of linguistic divergence are largely the result of the time at which a group migrated and propagated its use.
Isn't that fun guys?
