Er isn't that what a grill is for? Ah I guess with a modern worktop
hob and a builtin oven you don't get a grill...


Well, we've got a built-in double oven; the top oven can be used as a grill but it's a horribly inefficient way of making toast, takes ages to get to temperature, only does one side at a time and will carbonise your toast in the blink of an eye if you're not watching it like a hawk.
