Earliest recorded stove was created in 1490, but the pictures of it look closer to a pizza oven than a modern stove; otherwise, things like stews were done over an open flame.non magical ones aside, i assume normal stovetops exist at least for inn keepers/taverns/bars/etc even if a regular non combatant 'commoner' citizen wouldn't have one unless they all cook in some fireplace/cauldron for soaps and just serves bread/jerky
yeah i guess it's part of the appeal, but other than super futuristic ones with mechs, even with the 'fantasy' appeal, it'd be interesting if it more or less was still an isekai in modern times or so just so ppl can have cars and proper plumbing lol, but still have magical elements and elves and suchEarliest recorded stove was created in 1490, but the pictures of it look closer to a pizza oven than a modern stove; otherwise, things like stews were done over an open flame.
The earliest recorded instance of something we might recognize as a stove—a cast iron stove—was in 1642. So, historically, the magical stove MC had Lil make him would likely be about 100-150 years beyond the tech of the age.
But those were basically enclosed fire pits with an opening at the top for cooking and one at the front for inserting fire wood, also the temperture control was not an accurate thing as it was mostly controlled by the amount and height of fire wood and later air control.Earliest recorded stove was created in 1490, but the pictures of it look closer to a pizza oven than a modern stove; otherwise, things like stews were done over an open flame.

Stoves actually weren't a thing historically. Benjamin Franklin was the first one to invent the stovetop/oven combo in the 1700s. Typically houses wouldn't have much more than a firepit from which they would use a frying pan over.non magical ones aside, i assume normal stovetops exist at least for inn keepers/taverns/bars/etc even if a regular non combatant 'commoner' citizen wouldn't have one unless they all cook in some fireplace/cauldron for soaps and just serves bread/jerky
