As part of the kitchen fixtures, glass ceramic cooking surfaces are subject to fashionable design trends. The market thus now calls for glass ceramic cooking surfaces with a circumferential flat polished bevel. These glass ceramic cooking surfaces are especially sensitive to shock and thus to breakage at their edges. The invention provides for special edge protection, which protects the thin edge of the glass ceramic cooking surface from direct mechanical shock stress from the side and/or from above. A basic embodiment with circumferential edge protection that consists of a permanently elastic layer, which encases the front of the edge and its lower side and which is formed from a frame that is made of hard material, is suitable for installation on a sill plate. In the case of another basic embodiment for installation in a cutout in the sill plate, the glass ceramic cooking surface, which is provided with the permanently elastic layer on the lower side and a supporting frame that is attached to it, is installed recessed in the cutout, whereby the encasing of the front with the permanently elastic layer is done in the installed state.
