Origins

Ovens are kitchen appliances that are used to roast and bake food in households around the world. Generally they are fueled by electricity or gas, with models that use bottle gas available in some markets but ovens can additionally use other fuels like charcoal or wood. In many homes, the oven is enclosed by a hob that food can be cooked. A hob is a burner that can be turned on and off. An oven is a closed enclosure which heats food in the middle.

The first ovens were huge brick and mud structures that had the ability to burn in order to cook food. These ovens were used to bake bread, cook meat, and other dishes since they were able to hold heat and maintained a constant temperature. They could also be easily shared between family members. However, open pits and furnaces had three major disadvantages: they were dangerous because of the smoke and flames that could be seen, they consumed a lot of fuel (wood), and it was difficult to control the heat and cooking process.

A solution was found using ovens that resembled fireplaces, with a chimney that closed off the fire to lessen its intensity and smoke and make it easier to control. These were popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and were typically found in households that were wealthy enough to have a separate kitchen area with a chimney, and having more than one oven and fireplace.
