Abstract (en)

An induction cooker (2) comprises a cooking surface comprising a first heating region (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) and a second heating region (4). The first heating region (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) is associated with an induction coil (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) for inducing a current in a cooking vessel made at least in part of ferromagnetic material and located in use on the first heating region (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) to heat the cooking vessel. The second heating region (4) has a ferromagnetic plate which is movable relative to the cooking surface to bring the ferromagnetic plate in proximity to at least one of the induction coil (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) associated with the first heating region (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) and another induction coil so as to allow a current to be induced in the ferromagnetic plate to heat the ferromagnetic plate.
