- GAS COOKING -
British inventor, James Sharp patented a gas oven in 1826, the first semi-successful gas oven to appear on the market. Gas ovens were found in most households by the 1920’s with top burners and interior ovens. The evolution of gas stoves was delayed until gas lines that could furnish gas to households became common.
During the 1910’s, gas stoves appeared with enamel coating that made the stoves easier to clean. One important gas design of note was the AGA cooker invented in 1922 by Swedish Nobel prize winner Gustaf Dalen.
