A gas cooking apparatus comprises a hob (4) arranged to be supplied with gas for heating a cooking receptacle on the hob (4), a valve (14) via which the gas can be supplied to the hob (4), a mechanical detector (42) for detecting the presence of a cooking receptacle on the hob (4), and a mechanical transmission (28-34) operatively associated with the detector (42) and the valve (14) and whereby displacement of the receptacle onto the hob (4) results in opening of the valve (14) and removal of the receptacle from the hob (4) results in closing of the valve (14). |
