Method for operating a heating means of a cooking appliance

Abstract

A method for operating a heating means of a cooking appliance includes: the heating means is made of a conductive material. The heating means is arranged opposite a further conductive element of the cooking appliance so that a cooking chamber of the cooking appliance extends between the heating means and the further conductive element. In an alternating manner, an alternating voltage relative to the further conductive element is applied to or generated on the heating means in order to generate an electromagnetic alternating field which passes through the cooking chamber, and a current is applied to or generated on the heating means in order to heat the heating means by ohmic losses.
