A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE OF A HOTPLATE OF A COOKING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to the system and method of controlling temperature of a hotplate of a cooking apparatus such as an outdoor cooking apparatus available for public use in parks or gardens. The temperature of the hotplate is sensed by a thermocouple, and a controller arranged to control a heater arranged to heat the hotplate may enable heating of the hotplate in a preheating mode and maintaining the hotplate at a selected temperature compared to the sensed temperature of the hotplate during the cooking mode.
