I recently wanted to know the translation of the word "stove" in the German language, so I searched for it on dict.leo.org. The listing that, I expect, refers to the most frequent use of the word is "der Herd", but as you can see if you view the page yourself, it notes that this usage is primarily American. Is there another word that British people use or do you use the fully qualified "kitchen stove" whenever you want to cook something?

Re: Question for our British members
Sorry, Pennsylvanian,
I'm not British, may I answer still?
My friends from England always call it "cooker".
I don't trust these things by the way, always try to keep away from them. Seems to be an instinct...

Re: Question for our British members
In the Northeast you either use hob, stove or cooker.
Haha, I never heard anyone say "I'll cook some spagbol on my 5-burner gas hob inclusive wok burner, 120 l oven with spit" .
