To brown or warm or cook by dry heat.
When used as a verb, the term “to broil” refers to the process of browning food items by subjecting them to direct heat, such as that generated by a flame or an electric coil.
Bread that is browned on each side under a broiler or in an electric toaster is commonly referred to as “toast.” Toast is a popular breakfast or snack option where slices of bread are subjected to heat until they become crispy and golden brown. It is often enjoyed with toppings such as butter, jam, or other spreads.
