3. Electric stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove

   Early electric stoves were unsatisfactory due to the cost of electricity (compared with wood, coal, or city gas), limited power available from the electrical supply company, poor temperature regulation, and short life of heating elements. The invention of nichrome alloy for resistance wires improved the cost and durability of heating elements. [10]

7. Kitchen stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_stove

   The first electric stoves used heating elements made of high-resistance metal to produce heat. The stovetop (range) surface had one or more circular heating elements, insulated with compressed magnesia and sheathed in a spiral metal tube. Heating elements for the oven are of similar construction but an elongated loop to distribute heat ...
