STOVE Meaning and Definition

  1. A stove is a household appliance designed for the purpose of heating and cooking food. It typically consists of one or more solid cooking surfaces, known as burners or hobs, on which cookware can be placed for direct heat transfer. The burners are often made of metal, such as cast iron or steel, and are connected to a fuel source that provides the necessary heat, such as gas, electricity, or wood.

    In modern stoves, the burners are usually accompanied by controls that allow users to adjust the level of heat and provide a safe cooking experience. These controls may include knobs or buttons that regulate the flow of gas or electricity and corresponding heat settings, allowing for precise temperature control.

    Moreover, stoves often feature an oven component, where larger cookware or multiple dishes can be placed for baking or roasting. This oven part is usually positioned below the burners and contains heating elements or gas burners that evenly distribute heat. The stove may also include subcomponents such as a broiler, which provides direct heat from above for browning or grilling purposes.

    Throughout history, stoves have gone through various iterations, including traditional wood-burning stoves and more contemporary electric or gas stoves. They have become an indispensable part of kitchens worldwide, offering a convenient and efficient way to prepare meals.

  2. • A hothouse; an enclosed fireplace for heating an apartment; a room or space artificially warmed; a cooking apparatus.
    • To heat or dry, as in a stove.
    • Broken or burst in, as a hole in a ship.
