The Electric Range With Cooktop Starred in a World-Famous Event

Gas kitchen ranges were available in the nineteenth century. The electric range didn't debut until the Chicago World's Fair's celebration of electricity display in 1893.

Having a range hood, in addition to the standard kitchen appliances like refrigerator and range, can increase the likelihood a home will sell promptly, and at a higher price. Major players in the real estate business note the fact that putting a hood above a kitchen range completes the look and function of an attractive, modern kitchen.
