Abstract
A hot plate has a hot-plate body from metal, having an upper side and a lower side. At least one heating element is disposed on the lower side of the hot-plate body. The upper side of the hot-plate body is configured so as to be flat, for setting up a cooking vessel to be heated. The upper side of the hot-plate body in an external region has an encircling planar region which lies in a plane, or which forms a plane, respectively, wherein the upper side, radially within the planar region, has at least one internal region which is concavely depressed, which in relation to the planar region is depressed by between 0.05 mm and 1 mm.
Claims23
A hot plate comprising:
- a hot-plate body, wherein:
- said hot-plate body has an upper side and a lower side;
- said hot-plate body is composed of metal;
- at least one heating element is disposed on said lower side of said hot-plate body;
- said upper side of said hot-plate body is configured so as to be flat, for setting up a cooking vessel to be heated;
- said upper side of said hot-plate body comprises an external region in which an encircling planar region is provided, said encircling planar region lying in a plane or forming a plane, respectively;
- and
- said upper side, radially within said planar region, comprises at least one internal region being concavely depressed.
The hot plate according to claim 6, wherein said encircling planar region comprises a width between 3% and 10% of a radius of said hot-plate body.
A hob comprising:
- at least one hot plate comprising a hot-plate body, wherein:
- said hot-plate body comprises an upper side and a lower side;
- said hot-plate body is composed of metal;
