Stove or Cooking Ranges |
 |
A stove is a heat-producing device. The word typically describes an appliance used either for generating warmth or for cooking.
In British English, however, the term cooker is normally used for the cooking
appliance, and stove for a wood or coal-burning room-heating appliance. Another American English word for a cooking stove is cooking range.
There are many types of stoves. A kitchen stove
is used to cook food, and refers to a device that has both burners on the top (also known as the cooktop or range or, in British English, the hob) and, often, an oven. A cooktop just has burners on the top and is usually installed into a countertop. A drop-in range has both burners on the top and an oven and hangs from a cutout in the countertop (that is, it cannot be installed free-standing on its own).
Modern stoves are typically considered a basic appliance in homes in developed nations. Along with the refrigerator, a stove is usually found in the
kitchen. Many modern stoves typically have from three to eight burners or plates (the vast majority of North American stoves and cooktops have four heaters called "burners) of various sizes and power levels; an oven; and knobs, for controlling the heat of the burners and the oven. The control knobs may be located on the backsplash, on the cooktop, or on the upper part of the front of the stove.
