An electric cooker having means for warning the user when one or more of the cooking surfaces is above a safe touching temperature comprises a glass ceramic cooking surface having one or more electrical heaters arranged on the underside of the cooking surface. A temperature monitoring device is thermally coupled with at least one of the one or more heaters and comprises an auxiliary heater, for example of PTC material, a thermally responsive device in the form of a thermistor, for example of PTC or NTC material, and a thermal buffer positioned between the auxiliary heater and the thermistor. A neon lamp or a filament lamp is provided for indicating when the thermistor is at or above a predetermined temperature. |
