What does STOVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An apparatus that burns fuel or uses electricity to provide heat for cooking or warming a room.
A stove sits in most kitchens and supplies the heat needed to boil, fry, or bake food, whether it runs on gas, electricity, or, in older or rural homes, wood and coal. Smaller portable stoves serve campers and hikers who need to cook meals away from a fixed kitchen, while a wood stove can heat an entire room through the winter. The word covers both cooking and heating appliances depending on context.
