Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooking hob (10) including at least two cooking zones (16, 18) and a balance system for adjusting the temperature of a cooking vessel (20) after said cooking vessel (20) has been moved from a first cooking zone (16) to a second cooking zone (18). The cooking zones (16, 18) comprise or correspond with a vessel recognition device in each case. The cooking hob (10) includes a sensor device for detecting the temperature of the first cooking zone (16). The balance system is provided for activating a boosted power level (30) at the second cooking zone (18) for an estimated time in order to compensate the energy loss (Qs) of the cooking vessel (20) during setting said cooking vessel (20) on the second cooking zone (18). The boosted power level (30) is estimated on the basis of a pre-set power level (28) of the second cooking zone (18), the temperature of the first cooking zone (16) before the cooking vessel (20) has been set on the second cooking zone (18) and an estimated time for activating the boosted power level (30). Further, the present invention relates to a method for adjusting the temperature of a cooking vessel (20) on a cooking hob (10), after…
