It's important to clarify the terminology here, as the words "oven" and "stove" are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different kitchen appliances.

An "oven" is a kitchen appliance designed for baking, roasting, and heating food using dry heat. It usually has a dedicated compartment with heating elements, and you can set the desired temperature to cook your food.

A "stove," on the other hand, is a kitchen appliance that typically consists of a cooktop with burners for cooking food in pots and pans. It provides direct heat for cooking on the stovetop, but it doesn't have an enclosed compartment for baking or roasting food like an oven.

If you have a traditional kitchen setup with both an oven and a stove, it would not be advisable to replace one with the other, as they serve different cooking purposes. You would still need an oven for baking and roasting, and a stove for cooking on the stovetop.

However, there are some combination appliances available that combine both an oven and a stovetop in one unit. These are known as "range" or "oven-range" appliances. A range can be a suitable replacement if you are looking to have both cooking functionalities in a single appliance.
