HOW IS IT MADE?
 Modern ovens are made using stainless
steel, glass, and electronic components.
 Stainless steel is used because of
durability and heat resistance for outer
casting. Heat retaining materials are used
for the lining of inner
chamber(ceramic,metal)
 Glass panels as doors allow visibility
during cooking.
 Electronic controls and heating elements
regulate temperature and cooking
functions.
 convection fans, sensors, and touch-
screen displays are some additional
features for a better cooking experience
WHAT IS THEIR WORKING MECHANISM?
 The ovens convert electrical energy into
heat to cook the food.
 Once a desired temperature is set on the
oven's control panel, the electronic
thermostat activates heating elements
inside the oven. These elements, made of
alloys, start giving heat.
 heat is then circulated by convection fans,
ensuring even distribution within the
chamber.
 As the temperature rises, the sensor
monitors it and adjusts the heating
elements accordingly to maintain the
desired temperature.
 This controlled heat cooks the food placed
inside the oven, resulting in cooked
dishes.

SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT MODERN OVENS:
1.Percy noticed that a candy bar in his pocket had
melted while standing in front of an active
magnetron, a component used in radar systems
during World War II, accidentally inventing ovens.

2.Voice-Activated Ovens: Some modern ovens can

be controlled using voice commands through virtual
assistants like Google Assistant.

3.Wi-Fi Connectivity: High-tech ovens can now

connect to your home Wi-Fi network, to allow you to
control and monitor your oven using your
