Ovens and Stoves

An oven is a cooking appliance with a thermally insulated chamber used for cooking, baking or drying food. A stove is an enclosed space in which wood or other combustibles are added and set alight to provide heat to a room or area as well as, sometimes, doubling as an oven. The origins of ovens can be traced back to Ancient Greece, used by traveling armies. The origins of stoves are unknown but thought to have been around since mankind learned to use fire.

How old is king stove and range co model 40a?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Surprisingly not very old.....

I believe the King Stove And Range Co. Model 200 "Fatso" is anywhere between 20 to almost 40 years old. I own one, and looked up the info on the Internet several years ago (that info seems to have disappeared from the Internet). If I remember correctly production began sometime in the early 70's and ended in the late 80's to early 90's.

It was designed by King stove and Range as a reproduction of a laundry stove. Laundry stoves were used back in the day before hot water heaters, and boilers. They would use this style stove with its broad flat top to heat up big kettles of water for laundry, and probably bathing.

Asked by Wiki User

The broiling part of an oven is called the element, and it is located at the top of the oven.

Be sure to leave the oven door open when using the broiler and put the oven rack up very close to the burner. The meat should be about 2 in from the heat source. DO NOT LEAVE the oven while broiling.

Can Bialetti pans go in the oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, absolutely not. If you put glass in the oven, it will crack and turn brown. It will ruin the pan, the food, and the oven.

NEVER PUT GLASS IN THE OVEN.

* * * * * * * * * *

I don't know how old this post is, but actually, you CAN use glass such as Pyrex or Corning. I use a gas oven and that's all i use. I no longer have metal pans. Just check the "User Guide" that comes with your dish/pan. If it says it's safe to use in oven, you're fine.

It can. My mom used even a safe to use in oven glass pot and it exploded.

Why is it important to adjust the shelves to the correct position before lighting an oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is important to adjust the shelves to the correct position before lighting the oven because it is safer to do so whilst the oven is cold and doing that, you would not put yourself at that much risk of getting burnt as when you are adjusting the shelves whilst the oven is hot. Whether you are doing this whilst the oven is cold or hot, still wear oven gloves!

It really is common sense because if you needed to adjust the shelves but you already turned the oven on and you could feel the heat and knew the oven was really hot, you wouldn't put your hand in there to adjust the shelves anyway.

Pizza is usually baked at about 425 degrees for 12 to 15 min. (Some ovens vary.) Preheat oven to the same temperature at which you are going to bake the pizza.

Real Pizza ovens bake at about 700 degrees.

Most home ovens won't even go that high.

They use a slightly different dough and shorter cooking time.

Why have both a thermopile and thermocouple?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A thermopile generates electricity from the heat of a pilot light. It generates about 750 mV that turns on the main gas valve to the fireplace.

A thermocouple is heated by the pilot light but it uses pressure to hold the pilot light gas supply valve open. When the thermocouple is heated, pressure increases holding open the main gas valve. If it cools down, the pressure goes down and closes the gas valve.
