Abstract (en)
A method is provided for operating a cooker to detect overflow events. Overflow sensing elements(22,24,26,28) , for example bimetallic strips (22-28), surround a heating element on a cooking surface (10) of the cooker. The overflow sensing elements each complete an electrical circuit. When an overflow event occurs, for example hot liquid overflowing a vessel which is on the cooker, the overflow sensing element is affected in such a way as to cause a break in the electrical circuit. For example, a heated bimetallic strip curls up. The break in electrical circuit can be detected and cause a safety action to the implement to prevent further overflow events. A cooker and a control system for detecting overflow events in a cooker are also described.
