The present application relates to a hob (2) and methods for operating such a hob (2). The hob (2) comprises a cooking surface (3) adapted to receive a number of pots, an user interface (12) allowing an user to select a cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10) associated to a pot and to adjust at least one operating parameter of the selected cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10), a pot detection unit (28) adapted to detect the presence and non-presence of pots on the cooking surface (3), a control unit (30)cooperating with the pot detection unit (28) and the user interface (12) and adapted to control the function of commands received through the user interface (12), wherein the user interface (12) is adapted to indicate the user the presence of every pot of the number of pots on their associated cooking zones (4, 6, 8, 10) and to indicate the user the actually selected cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10) whose at least one operating parameter is adjustable through the user interface (12) by the user and wherein in one operation mode the control unit (30) is adapted to cause a selection of a certain cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10) and to provide a corresponding indication on the user interface (12) that the certain cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10) is from now on selected, if a corresponding signal from the pot detection unit (28) was received by the control unit (30) that a temporal interruption of a presence of a pot on the certain cooking zone (4, 6, 8, 10) was detected. |
