An automatic flame control at a gas cooktop that is designed to save gas and to minimize pollution while cooking with a flame of variable intensity depending on the temperature of the cooking utensil. It consists of a temperature-sensing device, attached to the cooktop rack, which measures the utensil's temperature. This sensing device sends an electrical signal to a control panel that consists of a thermostat to be controlled by the user. This control panel controls a gas flow restrictor valve that can alter the gas flow to the cooktop burner. The cooktop burner could be removable for service or cleaning, and a display to show the user at what temperature the food is being cooked could be installed. In addition, a controller can be adapted to this device to control the intensity of the low flame when the burner is on its low cycle.
