The definition provide by Christa raises an interesting question:<br>
<br>
Stove = ________________. And there are cookstoves or cook
stoves = for cooking.<br>
<br>
Well, the there can be heat stoves or heating stoves that do
not necessarily have capacity for cooking. One well know example
is the Franklin Stove by Benjamin Franklin. <br>
<br>
So, "stove" usually implies cooking, but certainly can also be for
space heating.<br>
<br>
But I will not debate this topic.<br>

that generates heat from an energy carrier and makes that
heat available for the intended use in a specific
application. Cook stoves are made to transfer the generated
heat to food, with the purpose to get it cooked and edible
for human consumption. Thus ‘a stove’ features the <b>combination
of heat generation and heat transfer</b> to a <u>cooking
pot</u> if the food is cooked in a liquid, or a <u>griddle,
plancha</u> etc. if the food is baked on a hot surface or
roasted without liquid.</div>
