gas oven

Burner-heated kitchen box

A gas oven is an oven heated by burning natural gas or propane rather than electricity.

Gas ovens are prized by some cooks for their quick preheating and moist heat.

The term also refers euphemistically to the gas chambers used in Nazi extermination camps, where victims were killed with poison gas: Her grandparents died in the gas ovens.
