+Origins
+
+Ovens are kitchen appliances used to roast and bake food in households around the world. They typically are powered by electricity or gas with bottle gas models that are available in certain markets but ovens can also use other fuels like charcoal or wood. In many homes the oven is located by a kitchen hob, which is where food can be cooked. The difference between a stove and an oven is that a hob comes with burners that are able to be switched off and on while an oven comes with an enclosure in which food is heated in the middle.
+
+The first ovens were huge brick and mud structures which contained a fire to cook food. They were used to bake bread, cook meat and other meals since they were quite adept at containing the heat to maintain an even temperature and were able to be shared among family members. However, open pits and furnaces had three major disadvantages: they were dangerous due to the smoke and flames that could be seen and they used a lot of fuel (wood) and was difficult to regulate the cooking process and heat.
+
+A solution was found using ovens that resembled fireplaces, with a chimney that shut off the fire to reduce the amount of smoke and intensity, and make it easier to manage. These were common in the 16th and early 17th centuries. They were found in wealthy households with a separate kitchen with a chimney, and more than one oven and fireplace.
+
+In the late 19th century, European ovens were a popular feature in kitchens. This was partly due to the fact that the oven was essential, since it was much safer and more efficient to cook with an oven than over an open flame or in a cauldron. It is believed that the invention of the oven coincided with the changes in cooking style and recipes that led to a greater emphasis on meat and casseroles.
+
+It is worth noting that in certain recipes, like those from Nigella she may suggest placing the pot "on the hob" however this could be misleading because a hob is actually an actual British word that refers to stove top. The North American equivalent is a range or cooktop, so it could be confusing if you're not familiar with the British terminology.
