Fire is indeed a very old detection. It is used for warmth, for heating water for bathing and for cooking vegetable, meat, and other food stuff. Even it can be used for making hot drinks. Electric stoves are the most current adaptation of the detection of fire. 
When the early man first learn the ability to make fire, his life and our lives indeed, changed forever. The early man huddled around the fire for gaining warmth and for cooking and in lots of respects fire is now not all that different.
Since this early time, we have evolved to the situation in which we now have electric stoves, meaning that we do not need to spend quite many hours attempting to start and stoke a fire. It is rather done automatically for us as the users. The role of fire has altered a lot as well.
Kitchen stoves have turned increasingly into popular since they essentially provide the similar heating and cooking capacity as was the case for cave dwellers all those thousands of years ago. As modern stoves were invented though, the fire became more sophisticated and was split between kitchen and living room, with many abodes having those facilities in their houses.
With the electricity advent, Electric stoves are now at the most sophisticated they have ever been. For just one thing, the stoves do not need any ventilation system like the conventional fireplaces need and stoves have in built airing systems and even added stove top ventilation fans.
Given that the stoves run on electricity, it is very easy to be capable of controlling the amount of heat that they give off to warm the area or cook your dinner. All you have to do is simply turn the settings up or down in accordance with your needs.
The heat output from the Electric stoves is a lot more efficient than the wood burning or the gas burning ones as the output remains stable until such time when you turn it off or change it. With gas burning or wood burning fireplaces and stoves the heat can change and you have just minimal control.
The electric ones are a lot easier to maintain and clean too. You will never need to chop up any wood or scoop out ash or clean out the chimney. The only thing that you will need to worry on is wiping out the stove every two weeks to keep it free of any spillage.
