The invention relates to controlling the simmering or cooking time in a cooking vessel which can be heated by means of an electrical cooking plate with a control circuit, in which the temperature in or on the cooking vessel is determined in the heating phase and utilized by the control circuit to regulate the heat output of the cooking plate by shutting off the cooking plate at a length of time before the completion of the predetermined simmering or cooking time, the time before completion being greater the greater the heat quantity determined from data from the heating phase. With heating starting at a temperature between the temperature necessary for the initiation of a significant steam formation and the boiling temperature of the water, the time period from reaching the boiling temperature up to the reaching of a predetermined measuring temperature lying slightly above the boiling temperature is measured, and the time period determined is used for the determination of the time period for the premature disconnection of the cooking plate which must be reduced by an amount which is greater the greater the starting temperature was above the temperature for initation of steam upon switching on the cooking plate. |
