A cooktop includes a cooktop panel, at least one heating element for heating a cooking vessel placed upon the cooktop panel, and a weighing unit for detecting a deformation of the cooktop panel as a result of weight-induced loading by the cooking vessel and for determining the corresponding weight-induced loading. The weighing unit is disposed at the underside of the cooktop panel and has an actuating element connected to the cooktop panel and a displacement sensor connected to the actuating element and the cooktop panel. The displacment sensor determines the weight-induced loading from an amount that the actuating element is displaced relative to the displacement sensor as a result of the deformation of the cooktop panel.
