<P> Canadian inventor Thomas Ahearn filed patent number no . 39916 in 1892 for an `` Electric Oven , '' a device he probably employed in preparing a meal for an Ottawa hotel that year . Ahearn and Warren Y . Soper were owners of Ottawa 's Chaudiere Electric Light and Power Company . The electric stove was showcased at the Chicago World 's Fair in 1893 , where an electrified model kitchen was shown . Unlike the gas stove , the electrical stove was slow to catch on , partly due to the unfamiliar technology , and the need for cities and towns to be electrified . By the 1930s , the technology had matured and the electrical stove slowly began to replace the gas stove , especially in household kitchens . </P>
