It consists of a gas-filled bulb connected to the control unit by a slender copper tube. The bulb is normally located at the top of the oven. The tube ends in a chamber sealed by a diaphragm. As the thermostat heats up, the gas expands applying pressure to the diaphragm which reduces the flow of gas to the burner.
A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by flammable gas such as natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or syngas. Before the advent of gas, cooking stoves relied on solid fuels, such as coal or wood. The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s and a gas stove factory was established in England in 1836.
A vacuum flask cooker with the pot inside. In the mid-1990s steel thermal cookers were developed in Asia, [3] consisting of two stainless steel pots, one within the other. The inner pot is used to bring the food to the boil and the insulated outer pot is used as the container to retain heat and continue the cooking process.
The earliest printed evidence of use of "gas mark" (with no other terms between the two words) appears to date from 1958. [1] However, the manufacturers of the "New World" gas ranges in the mid-1930s gave away recipe books for use with their cooker, and the "Regulo" was the gas regulator. [2] The book has no reference to degrees.
The gas lighter is mostly cylindrical in shape and consists of a piezo-electric crystal over which a spring-loaded hammer is placed. The hammer and spring set up is attached to a button. When this button is pressed, the hammer is moved away from the piezo-electric crystal. When the button is pressed over a limit, the spring releases the hammer.
Auto reignition lowers the risk of gas leaks: if a flame goes out during operation, for example, from vibration or a gust of wind; due to misoperation—a user might not understand the "light" position must be maintained for about 0.5 to 2 seconds before turning the burner knob on fully.
The first patents were issued in the early 1900s. [2] Demonstration stoves were shown by the Frigidaire division of General Motors in the mid-1950s [3] on a touring showcase. The induction cooker was shown heating a pot of water with a newspaper placed between the stove and the pot, to demonstrate the convenience and safety.
