Stoves

Stoves are devices for cooking or heating foods, operated by burning fuel such as gas, wood, or coal, or by using electricity. They are the workhorses of kitchens, street-food stalls, and many small food businesses, and their performance, heat output, controllability, and evenness, directly affects cooking results, energy use, and safety. In food-safety terms, reliable stoves matter because underpowered or uneven heating can leave cold spots where pathogens survive, while good control lets cooks hit the time-temperature combinations that make food both delicious and safe.
