Origins
|
||||
|
||||
Ovens are kitchen appliances used to roast and bake food in homes across the world. They are typically powered by gas or electricity. Bottle gas models are available in certain markets. However, ovens can also be powered by other fuels such as wood or charcoal. In many homes the oven is usually surrounded by a kitchen hob, where food can be prepared. Hobs are essentially a stove that can be turned on and off. An oven is a closed enclosure that heats food in the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
The first ovens were huge brick and mud structures that had fire in order to heat food. These ovens were used to bake bread, cook meat, and for cooking other foods since they were able to hold heat and maintained a constant temperature. They could also be shared by family members. However, these open pits and furnaces came with three major drawbacks - they were dangerous due to the smoke and flames that could be seen as well as the consumption of fuel (wood), and it was difficult to regulate the heat and cooking process.
|
||||
|
||||
A solution was found using ovens that resembled fireplaces with a chimney that shut off the fire to decrease the amount of smoke and intensity, and make it easier to manage. They were very popular during the 16th and 17th centuries and were typically used in homes that were wealthy enough to have a separate kitchen with a chimney, and having more than one oven and fireplace.
|
||||
|
||||
In the late 19th century, European ovens had evolved to become a common feature in kitchens at home. This was due to the fact that the oven was a necessity, as it was more secure and efficient to cook in an oven than over an open flame or in a cauldron. However, it is believed that the invention of the oven coincided with changes in cooking techniques and recipes that led to more emphasis on meat and casseroles.
|
||||
|
||||
In certain recipes, such as those made by Nigella she might suggest placing a pan "on the hob". However, this can be misleading because a hob used in British English is a stovetop. The North American equivalent is a range or cooktop, and it could be confusing if not familiar with British terminology.

||||
