Not here. A grill is often a BBQ. It could also be a pan or cooking
device. In a restaunt, it would be this:

As you can see, also called a griddle. In some areas, pancakes, which could
be made on such a cooking surface are called griddle cakes. Then there is
the grilled cheese sandwich which would also be made on this.

My grill pan is similar to this:

Seems to work best for meats. Have not tried it for sandwiches but I did
try it for quesadillas and it didn't cook evenly for that.

This explains a broiler:

Not that I know of. Once cooked, they are pretty mushy. Sometimes used in
soups or stews. But the most common use would be for things like pies,
cakes, muffins, breads, etc. I just looked up recipes. Saw one for fudge.
Did not see any that didn't use puree. But I know that since I've said this
twice, someone will come along and prove me wrong.
