Firewood Oven
The Firewood Oven first appeared in the 15th century. A group of ancient people came up with this idea of cooking with fire. There's no specific type of wood that needs to be used for the oven. The oven is designed to retain heat for long periods of time. The oven was also used for sleeping ontop of, for keeping warm in the Winter.

Solid Fuel Oven
Gustaf Dalen introduced this in 1742. It is a heat storage and cooker with components that can absorb heat from a continuously burning source. They are expensive today, since no companies make them anymore. They can be over $1,000 because they are antiques. Also, people criticize their energy consumption because they use so much gas to cook. -

Gas Oven
The first gas oven to appear on market was in 1826, but most households didn’t have them until 1910. A British man named James Sharp invented it. During the 1910s, gas stoves appeared with enamel coatings that made the stoves easier to clean. They have to be lit with a match. Gas stove manufacturers later installed a safety valve in the ovens to prevent the unfortunate situation of the oven’s flame spreading and blowing up. Another added safety addition is the electrical ignition of the pilot -

Electric Oven
The first Electric Oven was made in the late 18th century, but it took even longer for a multiple of them to come out in stores. Thomas Ahearn was the first one to be credited with the invention. One major improvement in electric ovens was the invention of resistor heating coils, a familar design in ovens also seen in hotplates. These resistor heating coils are simple devices that turn electric current into heat energy. -

Microwave Oven
The microwave oven was invented accidentally during World War II. In 1946, the engineer Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, who worked for the Raytheon Corporation, was working on magnetrons. One day at work, he had a candy bar in his pocket, and found that it had melted. He realized that the microwaves he was working with had caused it to melt. After experimenting, he realized that microwaves would cook foods quickly- even faster than conventional ovens that cook with heat. The first one ever sold was -
Self-Cleaning Oven
This oven uses high temperature (approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit) to burn off leftovers from baking, without the use of any harmful chemicals. It was invented by Jeffrey Choat, Timothy Pace, and Robert Whipple Jr. of Maytag corporation(1982-2001). It cleans your oven for you and it comes with a lock to lock the oven while it is cleaning itself. Self Cleaning Oven. (2012). Self Cleaning Oven. Self Cleaning Oven.
