Method of detecting cookware on an induction hob, induction hob and cooking appliance

摘要

The present application in particular is related to a method of detecting cookware (3) on an induction hob (1) comprising a plurality of induction heating coils (2) each being adapted for heating, in the activated state, cookware (3) placed on the induction hob (1). With the proposed method, detecting cookware (3) is based on signals generated by at least one active induction heating coil (4) through the action of parasitic electro- magnetic coupling effects in at least one inactive induction heating coil (6).
