Abstract
Electrical resistance retrofittable stove heating elements are provided which include a metal oxide-containing cooking top and a sheathed resistance heating element spaced from the lower surface of the cooking top. The stove element can also contain a housing bowl disposed below the sheathed resistance heating element for helping to reflect radiant heat from the heating element to the cooking top. The sheathed resistance heating element also includes a pair of plug-in terminals for selectively connecting said retrofittable stove element to a source of electric power. These stove elements can be used in original equipment or in older stoves having conventional electric stove elements.
