Temperature-regulating appliance with removable base

A base for a temperature-regulating appliance, the base comprising:

• a housing having an upper wall, a lower wall, and a sidewall extending between the upper wall and the lower wall that cooperatively define an interior chamber;
• an insulating layer disposed along the upper wall;
• an inductive heating element positioned within the interior chamber, beneath the insulating layer;
• and
• a lip extending at least partially along a periphery of the housing, the lip configured to selectively interface with a bracket extending from a cooktop of the temperature-regulating appliance to facilitate detachably coupling the base to the cooktop.

An induction range comprising:

• a cooktop having an upper surface and a lower surface;
• a base comprising:
• a housing defining an internal compartment;
• an insulation layer disposed along a top surface of the housing;
• and
• an inductive heating element positioned within the internal compartment of the housing;
• a mounting adapter extending from the lower surface of the cooktop to the housing, the mounting adapter detachably coupling the base to the cooktop;
• and
• a temperature sensor positioned between the lower surface of the cooktop and the insulation layer, wherein the temperature sensor is coupled to at least one of the lower surface of the cooktop or coupled to the insulation layer.
