#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a cookware detecting unit (18) provided in a cooking zone and detecting change of an orientation and/or a position of a pot (14) and a pan (16) on the cooking zone of a hob (10). A control unit (20) adjusts parameter of the cooking zone depending on the detected orientation and/or position change of the pot and the pan. The cookware detecting unit detects an absolute orientation, an absolute position and/or sizes of the pot and the pan on the hob. A projection device (22) displays direction for changing the orientation and/or position of the pot and the pan on the hob to a user. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a hob. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Operation device for operating a hob e.g. induction hob and electric hotplate, to adjust heating output, cooking zone size and cooking time of a cooking product (claimed) in a cookware in a kitchen workstation. Uses include but are not limited to rotary controller, sliding controller, push button and touch- and approximation sensitive button for pot, pan, roaster, spoon, stir bar, eggbeater and mixer. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The control unit adjusts the parameter of the cooking zone depending on the detected orientation and/or the position change of the pot and the pan, thus ensuring ergonomic, simple and intuitive operation of the hob by the user, and constructing the operation device in a simple and space-saving manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic perspective view of a hob with an operation device. 10 : Hob 14 : Pot 16 : Pan 18 : Cookware detecting unit 20 : Control unit 22 : Projection device. |
