Electric Stove

The electric stove was showcased at the chicago world's fair in 1893, where an electrified model kitchen was shown. Unlike the gas stove, the electrical stove was slow to catch on, partly due to the unfamiliar technology, and the need for cities and towns to be electrified. By the 1930s, the technology had matured and the electrical stove slowly began to replace the gas stove, especially in household kitchens. In cooking, an electric stove is a cooker that uses electricity as a source of energy.

Electric stoves generally have a thermostat, spiral/coil-shaped burners on top and heat-producing elements for baking and broiling inside. The standard electric stove has two large burners and two small burners, which are connected to the main part of the stove where the electricity is controlled by the dials on the front of the stove. Electric stoves have a few advantages over gas stoves. Some people prefer electric stoves because they are easier to use, don't require turning a dial to light the gas, nor are people in danger of accidentally turning off the heat while adjusting it. In addition, gas leaks or leaving the gas running can be a definite safety hazard, while electric stoves can be safer.

With the advent of electricity, electric stoves are now at the most advanced they have ever been. Because electric stoves run on electricity, it is easy to be able to control the amount of heat they give off for cooking your dinner. All you need to do is just turn the settings up or down according to your needs.
