ahoj, brit-speakers

cooker.

does it include what we here in the states would call an oven (for baking), or is it only the part we call the stove (or stovetop)?

I think "range" is a stove/oven combo, and a "stove" is, well, the stove part of it. We have the stove portion on an island, and I can tell you that that's called a cooktop, since I've been looking at new ones for several months. In the stores, if you say stove, they assume you mean a stove/oven combo unit.
