An electric cooker is an electric powered cooking device for heating and cooking of food. An electric cooker often has four stoves and one or two ovens. There will be knobs to determine the temperature of the ovens and stoves. Unlike gas stoves that are powered by gas, it is powered by electricity. Usually they have four rings on top of the hob.
Besides stoves or ranges, common types include hot plates, slow cookers (or crock pots), electric toasters, rice cookers, electric teakettles, and the now obsolete Dub Cookers.
Famous quotes containing the word electric:
“Flabby, bald, lobotomized,
he drifted in a sheepish calm,
where no agonizing reappraisal
jarred his concentration of the electric chair—
hanging like an oasis in his air
of lost connections. . . .”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
