An electric stove is a kitchen appliance used for cooking food through the application of electric heat. It typically features a flat surface with heating elements that can be either exposed coils or smooth, glass-ceramic tops.
Key components include:
Burners: The heat sources, which may be adjustable to provide different levels of heat for various cooking needs.
Control Panel: Usually located at the front, it includes knobs or touch controls for adjusting temperature and settings.
Oven: Many electric stoves come with a built-in oven, allowing for baking and roasting, with settings for different cooking modes (e.g., bake, broil).
Safety Features: Many models have features like auto shut-off, child locks, and indicator lights to show when surfaces are hot.
Electric stoves are known for their ease of use, consistent heat distribution, and simple cleanup, especially models with smooth tops that can be wiped clean. They are a popular choice in many homes due to their efficiency and versatility.
