INTRODUCTION

An enclosed space in which heating was produced by fuel is called a stove. There are
several types of stove available such as the kitchen stove, wood-burning stove, and coal stove.
These stoves are categorized based on what type of heat source they used gas burners, electric
coil or electric ceramic.
Many chefs prefer kitchen cooktops with gas due to the fact that the heat can be controlled in a
very specific manner and lowering the temperature on a pot sitting on a gas stove will result in an
instant reduction of temperature. However, heating is not as fast as electric models. Thus, it
usually takes longer to get a pot of water to boil on a gas burner than it does on an electric. Gas
stoves tend to accommodate pans and pots with rounded and flat bases and they can handle all
sizes.
A kitchen cooktop using electric coils heats quickly and evenly. Coils work well with all shapes
of pots and pans. However, when lowering the temperature on an electric coil burner it can take a
significant amount of time for the new temperature to take effect as these burners retain heat for
quite some time. Also unlike gas burners, after they are turned off they will remain hot for a
short period as well. Be aware that spills on the open coils can be difficult to clean up and will
often flow below the burners surface. This can become a cleaning nightmare if not kept in
check.
Electric ceramic burner kitchen cooktop is easy to spot the stoves surface is completely flat and
the heating element is sealed underneath it. Theres no chance of spilling food or liquid directly
on the element or into the area that contains the heat source. Spills are easy to clean on these
flattop versions of the kitchen cooktop.

The heating elements are covered by a sleek ceramic surface as the cooktop. Induction elements
under the glass-ceramic surface generate heat and send it directly to the pot or pan and not to the
stove surface. These burners tend to heat more quickly than coil burners.
There are limitations to the types of cookware are being used. Ceramic, aluminum, and copper
pans wont work well on these and the bases of your pots and pans must be flat or only slightly
concave. Any dents in bases will undermine the pots efficiency. Vessels with a 4-6 mm stainless
steel sandwich bases are the choice for these stoves. Finally, the burners for electric ceramic
stoves are more expensive than coils.
A kitchen stove is used to cook food. A wood-burning stove or a coal stove is typically used for
heating a dwelling. Enclosed stoves are more efficient and prevent air from being sucked from
the room into the chimney. Due to concerns about air pollution, efforts have been made to
improve stove design. Pellet stoves, for example are a type of clean-burning stove. Air-tight
stoves more completely combust wood and eliminate polluting combustion products.
Gas stoves today use two basic types of ignition sources, standing pilot and electric. A stove with
a standing pilot has a small, continuously burning gas flame called a pilot light that located under
the cooktop. The flame is between the front and back burners. When the stove is turned on, this
flame lights the gas flowing out of the burners. The advantage of the standing pilot system is that
it is simple and completely independent of any outside power source. A minor drawback is that
the flames continuously consume fuel even when the stove is not in use. Early gas ovens did not
have a pilot. One had to light these manually with a match. If one accidentally left the gas on, gas
would fill the oven and eventually the room.
A small spark, such as an arc from a light switch being turned on, could ignite the gas, triggering
a violent explosion. To prevent these types of accidents, oven manufacturers developed and
installed a safety valve called a flame failure device for gas hobs and ovens. The safety valve
depends on a thermocouple that sends a signal to the valve to stay open. If a draft blows out the
flame or it goes out due to loss of gas pressure, the thermocouple cools and signals the valve to
close, shutting off the gas supply. In gas ranges that come with a flame failure device, lighting
when there's no power can prove to be a bit of a challenge because unless the user is quick at
lighting a match and then turning on the gas valve, the flame failure device cuts off the gas

supply within seconds if it senses that the burner isn't lit and there's not much of a point trying to
light it once it has already cut off the gas supply.
Although most modern gas stoves have electronic ignition, many households especially private
student accommodation and properties occupied by pensioners in the UK that have gas cooking
ranges and ovens that need to be lit with a flame. Electric ignition stoves use electric sparks to
ignite the surface burners. This is the clicking sound audible just before the burner actually
lights. The sparks are initiated by turning the gas burner knob to a position typically labeled lite
or by pressing the ignition button. Once the burner lights, the knob is turned further to modulate
the flame size. Also reignition is an elegant refinement the user need not know or understand the
wait then turn sequence. They simply turn the burner knob to the desired flame size and the
sparking is turned off automatically when the flame lights.
Reignition also provides a safety feature the flame will be automatically reignited if the flame
goes out while the gas is still on for example by a gust of wind. If the power fails, surface
burners must be manually match lit.Electric ignition for ovens uses a hot surface or glow bar
igniter. Basically it is a heating element that heats up to gas's ignition temperature. A sensor
detects when the glow bar is hot enough and opens the gas valve.
Gas stoves heat sources come from natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or
other flammable gas. In the modern stoves, they usually has a built in extractor hoods. In
cooking, gas stove is known as kitchen stove. Modern kitchen stoves may use alternative
methods for heating food. Natural gas and electric stoves are the most common today in western
countries. Both are equally effective and safe, and the choice between the two is largely a matter
of personal preference and pre-existing utility outlets if a house has no gas supply, adding one
just to be able to run a gas stove is an expensive endeavor.

In particular, professional chefs often prefer gas cooktops, for they allow them to control the heat
more finely and more quickly. On the other hand, some chefs often prefer electric ovens because
they tend to heat food more evenly. Today's major brands offer both gas and electric stoves, and
many also offer dual-fuel stoves combining gas cooktops and electric ovens.
