Abstract

The cooking apparatus includes a glass or glass-ceramic plate (1) providing a cooking surface with one or more cooking areas with a throughgoing opening (2) in each cooking area and with an annular atmospheric gas burner under each opening (2). The annular atmospheric gas burner is an annular pipe (19b) provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed orifices (19c) for supporting flames (19a). The annular pipe (19b) has a circular transverse cross-section and bounds a central opening (19d). An overflow catching container (20) may be provided under the gas burner to catch overflowing cooking material falling through the throughgoing opening (2). The peripheral -edge (1a) of the glass or glass-ceramic plate (1) around the throughgoing opening (2) is preferably curved upward from the cooking surface, which also assists in handling overflowing material.
