electric oven

Plugged-in baking box

An electric oven is an oven that uses electrical heating elements rather than gas flames to cook food.

The term distinguishes it from gas ovens in contexts where the difference matters—energy costs, cooking properties, or installation requirements: The apartment only has hookups for an electric oven.
