Why do we use heat pumps for indoor climate control, refrigerators, and water heaters, but there are no heat pump cooking stoves?
Heat pumps are, in essence, devices which exploit the chemistry of the refrigeration cycle to cause one thing to get cold while another thing gets hot.
While we already use these to make crazy-efficient air con units, refrigerators, and water heaters, but why are all electric stoves sold nowadays still using resistance coils to generate heat, rather than using a heat pump?
