That's kind of a trick question! Most ovens are either gas or electric. But they cook by heating the food. So, an oven uses either chemical energy in the form of gas, or electrical energy, but either one is converted to heat energy to do the actual cooking.

∙ 15y agoTo find out how much energy your gas oven uses, find the BTUs (usually on an information plate inside the door or in the drawer). Also find the gas rate for your home.
* If your company charges in CCFs, multiply your CCF cost by 1.024 to get cost/therm. * Cost per hour of gas appliance = BTUs/100,000 x cost/therm My example: * My rate is 88.733 cents/CCF x 1.024 = 90.86 cents/therm * My standard burner is 9,500 BTUs. * 9,500/100,000 = .095 x .9086 = 8.6 cents/hour to have the burner on high * My oven is 18,000 BTUs. 18,000/100,000 = .18 x .9086 = 16 cents/hour. Across the internet, you can find various figures for a gas oven at 350 degrees -- somewhere between 10 and 23 cents/hour, depending on which estimations you use
To find out how much energy your electric oven uses, find the wattage of the oven, or the volts and amps if that's all that's listed. Also determine your electric rate in kWh.
* If your appliance only lists amps and volts, v x a = watts * Watts/1000 = kWh * Simply multiply that number by the cost/kWh of your electricity Estimations for electric ovens run between 12-19 cents/hour.

∙ 8y agoIt really depends on the oven. Check how you power the oven. If you have to plug it in to an outlet, then it uses electrical energy. If you heat it with wood, or propane gas, then it uses the chemical energy in the fuel. Microwave ovens use electrical energy.

Radiation (heat passed through air in certain cases).
For ovens, it is radiation (sorry).

What kind of energy does a Microwave Oven have?
heat energy
What kind of energy does a microwave oven use?
A microwave oven uses electrical energy (which is electromagnetic energy) from the mains, and it generates microwave energy (which is also electromagnetic energy) to heat/cook food items.
How is kinetic energy used in a microwave oven?
Kinetic energy is the mechanical energy (thermal energy) that does the heating/cooking in a microwave oven. The microwaves that the oven generates stimulate chemical bonds in food, and this is the conversion of electromagnetic energy into that heat we mentioned.
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
Does work have energy?
Work IS a kind of energy: work is the word used for transfer of energy.Work IS a kind of energy: work is the word used for transfer of energy.Work IS a kind of energy: work is the word used for transfer of energy.Work IS a kind of energy: work is the word used for transfer of energy.
What kind of energy does a Microwave Oven have?
heat energy
What kind of energy does a hot oven have?
Heat, or thermal, energy.
In a microwave oven electromagnetic energy is changed to what kind of energy?
Heat energy
Using an oven you can turn cake batter into delicious cake what kind of energy is involed in this change?
The type of energy used in baking is heat.
What kind of energy transition is happening in an oven if the oven burns gas to cook food?
The burning of gas is chemical energy, and it creates thermal energy (heat, which is mechanical energy) to cook the food. Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy in the gas oven.
What kind of energy does a microwave oven use?
A microwave oven uses electrical energy (which is electromagnetic energy) from the mains, and it generates microwave energy (which is also electromagnetic energy) to heat/cook food items.
What is mechanical grill oven?
it is a kind of oven that we used to make a food that is baked
What is the most efficient type of oven?
Answer: There is no single best kind of oven. The best kind of oven depends on the product being baked, whether pizza, bread, pastries or cakes.Answer:For a home oven I would suggest a Viking.

When a microwave oven timer beeps to what kind of energy has electricity been changed into?
The electromagnetic energy (electricity) the oven operates on is being converted into mechanical (sound) energy when the timer beeps.
What kind of energy do you use to power up a solar oven?
Solar power
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
