The first electric stove was introduced during the Chicago world fair in 1893.
An electric cooker should have a separate source of power rather than an ordinary one as it consumes more power than an ordinary electric appliance like a TV or a fan.
The most popular colour for electric cookers in the 1970s was gold.
The thermostat used in electric ovens will heat up the upper part slightly more and the lower part slightly less than the set temperature. This zoned difference in temperature will help to cook different dishes at the same time depending on their heat requirement.
Many electric cookers are self-cleaning and some feature three different levels of cleaning.
