Abstract
A cooktop appliance defining a reference center and a radial direction extending from the reference center, a circumferential direction extending relative to the reference center, and a vertical direction extending orthogonal to the radial direction is provided. The cooktop appliance includes a ceramic-glass plate, a heating assembly positioned below the ceramic-glass plate, and a programmed magnet centered at the reference center. The programmed magnet is configured to generate a magnetic force along the radial direction.
Claims19
A cooktop appliance defining a reference center and a radial direction extending from the reference center, a circumferential direction extending relative to the reference center, and a vertical direction extending orthogonal to the radial direction, the cooktop appliance comprising:
- a ceramic-glass plate;
- a heating assembly positioned below the ceramic-glass plate;
- a programmed magnet centered at the reference center, the programmed magnet configured to generate a radial magnetic force along the radial direction substantially greater than a vertical magnetic force along the vertical direction.
A cooking system, the system defining a reference center and a radial direction extending from the reference center, a circumferential direction extending relative to the reference center, and a vertical direction extending orthogonal to the radial direction, the system comprising:
- a cooktop appliance, comprising:
- a ceramic-glass plate;
- a heating assembly positioned below the ceramic-glass plate;
- a first programmed magnet centered at the reference center, the first programmed magnet configured to generate a radial magnetic force along the radial direction substantially greater than a vertical magnetic force along the vertical direction;
- and
- a cookware device comprising a bottom surface, wherein a plenum is formed at the reference center at the cookware device, and wherein a second programmed magnet is positioned in the plenum.
