ELECTRIC STOVEAnelectric stoveorelectric rangeis astovethat convertselectric energyintoheattocookandbake. Electric stoves became popular as replacements for solid-fuel (wood or coal) stoves which required more labor to operate and maintain. Some modern stoves come in a unit with built-inextractor hoods.Electric stove "burners" may be controlled by arotary switchwith a finite number of positions (for example, six), each of which engages a different combination of resistances and hence a different heating power, or may have an "infinite switch" called asimmer stat. Some may have a thermostat.ELECTRIC KETTLEElectric kettles were introduced as a means to boil water without the necessity of a stove top. They are normally constructed of durable plastic or steel (with a plastic handle) and powered bymains electricity. In modern kettles theheating elementis typically fully enclosed, with a power rating of 2 - 3kW at 220V. In countries with 110V mains electricity, kettles may be less powerful to avoid drawing too much current and requiring a very thick supply wire.In modern designs, once the water has reached boiling point, the kettle automatically deactivates, preventing the water from boiling away and damaging the heating element. Abimetallic stripthermostatis commonly used as the automatic shut-off mechanism.[7]The thermostat is isolated from the water in the kettle and is instead heated by the steam created when the water boils, which is directed through a duct onto the bimetallic strip. This allows the thermostat to be coarsely calibrated, which in turn allows the kettle to function normally at a wide range of altitudes. A consequence of this design is that the kettle may fail to deactivate if the lid is left open, due to an insufficient amount of steam being ducted onto the bimetallic strip.Jug kettles became popular in the late 20th century. They have a more upright design and are more economical to use, since small amounts of water, enough for only one cup, can be boiled while still keeping the element covered.In the United States an electric kettle may sometimes be referred to as ahot pot.CURLING IRONCurling irons, also known ascurling tongs, create waves or curls in hair using a variety of different methods. There are many different types of modern curling irons, which can vary bydiameter, material, and shape of barrel and the type of handle. The barrel's diameter can be anywhere from .5in (1.3cm) to 2in (5.1cm). Smaller barrels typically create spiral curls or ringlets, and larger barrels are used to give shape and volume to ahairstyle.Curling irons are typically made ofTeflon,ceramic,tourmaline,metal, ortitanium, each of which has its pros and cons. The barrel's shape can either be acylinder,cone, or reverse cone, and the iron can have brush attachments or double and triple barrels.The curling iron can also have either a spring-loaded, Marcel, or clipless handle. Spring-loaded handles are the most popular and use aspringto work the barrel's clamp. When using a Marcel handle, named afterMarcel Gateau one applies his or her own pressure to the clamp. Clipless wands have no clamp, and the user simply wraps hair around a rod. Most clipless curling irons come with aKevlarglove to avoid burns
