In 1892, the cooking range was first introduced by Thomas Ahearn when he installed on in the Montreal Windsor Hotel. Later in 1893, at
the Chicago World's Fair, an electric stove was demonstrated to the public. While the gas stove gained quick acceptance by U.S.
consumers, the electric stove's growth was hindered by the newness of the technology and the fact that many areas of the country
were not wired for electricity in these times. Eventually, by the 1930s, the electric range was improved and began to gain steadily
on the gas range, eventually outpeforming it in home use.
The electric range's technology was at first resistive heating coils through which electricity was passed, creating heat which
transferred from the hot coils to iron hotplates. It was on top of these hotplates that pots and pans were placed for heating food.
The next phase in electric range technology was glass-ceramic cooktops, which began to appear in the 1970s.
The benefits of glass-ceramic are that it has a very low heat conduction coefficient, but allows infrared radiation to pass through
very efficiently. Infrared halogen lamps or electrical heating coils are used as heating elements in these types of electric ranges.
These cooktops heat up much faster, have a smaller amount of "afterheat", and the surfaces adjacent to the plate remain
cool while the plate itself heats up. In addition, the smooth surface of these electric ranges make them markedly easier to clean.
The negatives of this type of electric range are that they are considerably more expensive than the old-style electric range, and they
only work with flat-bottom pots and pans.
A recent third electric range technology is the induction stove, which often have a glass-ceramic cooking surface. Developed at
first for high-end professional kitchens, they are now being used in households. Induction ranges heat the pots and pans
directly through the process of electro-magnetic induction. Therefore, the cookware used with these induction ranges must have
flat ferro-magnetic bottoms.
