I think there were a few burnings in England and maybe more in Scotland, but it was definitely more common on the Continent, Germany in particular.

If you want torture, though, read what happened after the Anabaptist Munster Rebellion was put down.

The point is, there was no witch burning in America by the Puritans.

In the New World, burning alive was limited to practitioners of Native American religions, who among other victims, also burned witches.

Indians burning witches, that doesn’t get mentioned much.
