After being vaguely annoyed for months, I fixed an element

Are these the “standard” to have in the US? In Denmark I feel like almost all stoves use induction, and I’ve never seen ones with this design here, but they seem pretty normal to have in US.

I guess it depends how often people replace their cookers. We had one in the UK when I was little bit it was from the 80s

My kitchen was originally built in the 70s. Some of the furniture is still original too. I think my stove + oven combo is original as well. Definitely looks very 70s to me. It’s an electric device, so the dials and electrons are the only moving parts. Not that many things can break in a setup like this.

I love devices like that. Shame the energy efficiency will probably be poor by modern standards.

It uses electricity to make heat. That’s the one conversion where you can expect approximately 100% efficiency.

Modern stoves have fancy safety features and a flat glass top to make it look nicer. I don’t think the efficiency has gone up in the past 50 years.
