Abstract
A cooker apparatus for heating a cooking pot inductively comprises an induction heating coil and a control device for controlling the heating power. The control device has a temperature-dependent guiding and control means and a sensor unit, adapted to be positioned on the cooking pot and subjected there to the evolution of steam in the cooking pot. The sensor unit is arranged to transmit control signals to the guiding and control means.
Claims11
An electric control apparatus for controlling inductive heating of a cooking pot at least partly comprising an electrically conductive material, said apparatus comprising:
- an electric induction heating coil, for heating the pot by inducing an electric current thereof;
- a device for controlling the electrical power delivered to the induction heating coil, the control device having a temperature-dependent guiding and control means;
- and,
- a temperature sensing unit adapted to be so positioned on the cooking pot, over matter being heated therein, as to be there subjected to rising steam formed in the cooking pot by the matter being heated, the sensing unit having means for transmitting control signals to the guiding and control means.
