oven
Let an agent explain ovens, relay types, heating methods, history and safety from appliance, food and industrial history sources, route fires and carbon monoxide symptoms to emergency services, describe the named kilns and furnaces, and distinguish ovens from stoves or hobs, kilns, furnaces, smokers and toasters.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain ovens, relay types, heating methods, history and safety from appliance, food and industrial history sources, route fires and carbon monoxide symptoms to emergency services, describe the named kilns and furnaces, and distinguish ovens from stoves or hobs, kilns, furnaces, smokers and toasters.
An enclosed chamber heated to cook, bake, dry or harden materials, including domestic cooking ovens powered by gas, electricity or wood, microwave ovens, commercial bakery ovens and bakehouses, and in industry kilns and furnaces the registry aliases name, such as bottle ovens used for firing pottery in Staffordshire, tunnel kilns and Hoffmann kilns for continuous brick firing patented in 1858, bloomeries for smelting iron and potash pits for making potash from wood ash; ovens pose burn, fire and carbon monoxide hazards, and gas appliances need safe installation and ventilation.
What it is for: Heating food or materials in an enclosed space.
It can be explain types and heating methods; relay history; describe named kilns and furnaces; relay safety.

What it looks like
An insulated box or chamber with a door, or large brick structures for industrial firing.
Physical character
domestic oven temperature: up to about 250-300 degrees Celsius - typical
Hoffmann kiln patent: 1858 year - Friedrich Hoffmann
microwave oven invented: 1945-1947 note - Percy Spencer
How it is recognised
Enclosed heating chamber
Bottle oven, bakehouse, tunnel kiln, Hoffmann kiln, bloomery, potash pit
Stoves heat from below; kilns fire ceramics; furnaces reach smelting temperatures; smokers cook slowly with smoke; toasters brown bread
