gas stove

A gas stove is a kitchen appliance that uses gas to cook your food. It has gas burners on top that you turn on and off to control the amount of heat you want the food to get. When you turn on the burners, gas flows from a pipe connected to the stove and a spark from an electric igniter lights it up. You can adjust the heat of the burners to cook your food at different temperatures.
