Abstract
An apparatus for controlling and adjusting heat output during the heating phase of a cooking vessel. The cooking vessel is heated by an electric heating element and the temperature inside the cooking vessel is measured. The heating element is provided with a control circuit and two program memories which operate as a function of the temperature increase characteristics during the simmer or warming cycles, whereby in the simmer cycle, both the first and second program memories are operative whereas in the warming cycle only the second program memory is operative in a similar manner as during the simmer cycle and over the same temperature differential but at different temperature values.
