The use of modern and luxurious kitchen appliances have made us quite dependent on them. Without the use of these, our lives would be much more difficult and cooking or baking would almost become impossible, given our busy life styles. Knowing about the history of these appliances and how they were invented concern many.
Previously, in the old ages, people used to cook food on bricks but later in the sixteenth century, people started looking for efficient, quick and safe cooking methods. Benjamin Thompson in the early 1800s invented an iron stove that had various holes and one fire. After this invention, new inventors came up with new ideas of large gas stoves that could fit into most kitchens. Electric stoves were invented in the 1930s and they soon became more popular than gas ones.
The history of the microwave dates back to 1946 when Percy Spencer discovered its underlying technology. He built a small metal box in which he placed food to check whether its temperature increased or not. His test was successful and he was the first one to come up with the idea of microwaves. These were available in the market at very high prices and were also very large in size. After further improvements in technology, various companies started manufacturing smaller sized ones. These were first used in restaurants, large hotels and food processing plants, and later became widely common and were owned by almost every household. Many new companies emerged that started producing quality kitchen appliances and aimed at making cooking an efficient and easy process.
Dishwasher, refrigerator, Cuisinart parts and other appliances are some other kitchen products that were introduced with the passage of time. Josephine Cochrane was the first one to invent a dishwashing machine in 1880s. She was the one who conceptualized the dishwasher, but her design did not attain much popularity because its use required large amounts of water. Better and easy to use designs were made by various companies that manufactured dishwashers powered by steam. Soon, these gained popularity and their ease of use and convenience made many people consider its purchase.
Advancement in technology made possible the manufacturing of many other kitchen products that were not possible to produce previously. Many new and well known companies have emerged that not only specialize in producing kitchen appliances but also produce their repair items such as Cuisinart parts.
