Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2688366A1] The device comprises multiple inductors that are mounted on the cooking surfaces (12) in a direction perpendicular to the cooking surface direction. A pan detection unit is provided to detect a size, a shape and/or position of the cookware elements (18) mounted on the cooking surfaces. A control unit is provided for actuating the inductors mounted on the cooking surfaces. The control unit is provided to control a display element to indicate the positional area of the cookware elements covered with the inductors in the heating zones (24), to initiate a selection process. An independent claim is included for a method for operating a cooking device.
