KITCHEN STOVE

• A kitchen stove, cooking stove, cook stove or cooker is a kitchen appliance designed for the purpose of cooking food. Kitchen stoves rely on the application of direct heat for the cooking process and may also contain an oven, used for baking.

• In the industrialized world, as stoves replaced open fires and braziers as a source of more efficient and reliable heating, models were developed that could also be used for cooking, these came to be known as kitchen stoves.

Wood Burning Stoves

• the history of the kitchen stove begins in earnest in the 18th century. Before that time, people cooked over open fires fuelled by wood.

Improvements to Wood Burning Ovens

• Open fire has three major disadvantages that prompted inventors even in the 16th century to devise improvements: it is dangerous, it produces much smoke, and the heat efficiency is poor.

• Inventors began making improvements to wood burning stoves primarily to contain the bothersome smoke that was being produced.

• Fire chambers were invented that contained the wood fire, and holes were built into the top of these chambers that cooking pot with flat bottom.

• One masonry design of note, was the 1735 Castrol stove (aka stew stove) invented by French architect François Cuvilliés. It completely contained the fire, and had several opening covered by iron plates with holes.

'Ten Plate Stove'

• Around 1728, the first cast iron ovens of German design were called Five-plate or Jamb stoves.

• Around 1800, Count Rumford (aka Benjamin Thompson) invented a working iron kitchen stove called the Rumford stove that was designed for very large working kitchens.

• However, the Rumford stove was too large from the average kitchen and inventors continued to improve their designs.

Jamb Stoves

• One successful and compact cast iron design was Stewart's Oberlin iron stove, patented in the 1834. Cast iron stoves continued to evolve, with iron gratings added to the cooking holes, and added chimneys and connecting flue pipes.

Coal & Kerosene

• Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist designed the first soot less kerosene stove.

• Jordan Mott invented the first practical coal stove in 1833. Mott's stove was called the baseburner.

• The stove had ventilation to burn the coal efficiently. The coal stove was cylindrical and made of heavy cast iron with a hole in the top, which was then enclosed by an iron ring.

Gas• British inventor, James Sharp patented a gas

stove in 1826, the first semi-successful gas stove to appear on the market.

• Gas stove were found in most households by the 1920s with top burners and interior stove.

• The evolution of gas stoves was delayed until gas lines that could furnish gas to households became common.

• During the 1910s, gas stoves appeared with enamel coatings that made the stoves easier to clean.

• One important gas design of note was the AGA cooker invented in 1922 by Swedish Nobel prize winner Gustaf Dalén.

Electricity

• It was not until the late 1920s and early 1930s that electric ovens began to compete with gas ovens, however, electric ovens were available as early as the 1890s.

• However, at that time, the technology and distribution of the electricity needed to power these early electric appliances still needed improvements.

• 1882 : Some historians credit, Canadian Thomas Ahearn with inventing the first electric oven.

• 1892 : However, The Ahearn oven was put into service in the Windsor Hotel of Ottawa.

• 1891 : The Carpenter Electric Heating Manufacturing Company invented an electric oven.

• 1893 : An electric stove was exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair.

• 1910 : William Hadaway went on to design the first toaster made by Westinghouse, a horizontal combination toaster-cooker.

Modern design• Rather than applying direct heat to a

cooking vessel, an induction cooker causes metal vessels to heat by electromagnetic induction. This leaves the cooking top cold and increases efficiency.
