With oven, and using electricity or gas, a cooker.  Without an oven, using
electricity or gas, a hot plate or hob (US English means something
completely
different by "hob").

Wood or coal-burning, a stove.  Which used to be use for the electric and
gas variants too, but it seems to have dropped out of British English (well,
my idiolect) except for wood/coal burners.  And even then, the wood/coal
burner might be called a cooker anyway.  Or an Aga or other brand name.

Oh, and then there are microwaves, slow cookers, etc.
