What is an "oven"?
An oven is a kitchen appliance used for baking, roasting, heating, or drying food by surrounding it with dry heat. It typically consists of an enclosed compartment with heating elements or gas flames that raise the temperature to the desired level. Ovens can be powered by electricity, gas, or even wood in traditional or outdoor settings. They are essential tools in cooking a wide range of dishes, from bread and pastries to meats and casseroles, providing consistent and controlled heat for even cooking.
