Abstract (en)

There is provided a cooker (5) having a heating element (10) mounted on a mechanical arrangement (90, 95, 115, 120) for moving the heating element (10). The cooker (5) has a supporting structure (15) for supporting a cooking vessel (20) above the heating element (10). The cooker (5) is provided with a proximity sensing arrangement (25, 30, 35, 40) for sensing the position of a cooking vessel (20) placed onto the supporting structure (15). The mechanical arrangement (90, 95, 115, 120) is arranged to move the heating element (10) to a position corresponding to the position of a cooking vessel (20) placed onto the supporting structure (15) as sensed by the proximity sensing arrangement (25, 30, 35, 40). A cooking vessel proximity sensing system (25, 30, 35, 40, 110) is also provided, having a plurality of movable proximity sensing elements (25, 30, 35, 40) and a controller (110).
