Unit with at least one plate made of a material, which material is permeable to thermal radiation, such as glass ceramic, glass, ceramic or a similar material, as a surface for cooking, frying and/or keeping warm. The unit with at least one plate is on a frame construction with different types of adjustable heat sources distributed underneath and on the plate. Some of the heat sources are distributed under the plate in the form of radiant burners and act indirectly by radiation through the plate. Other heat sources are located above the level of the plate in the form of open atmospheric or atmospheric pressure gas burners and transmit heat directly by producing open flames. The respective heat sources correspond to the cooking, frying and/or warming positions. Whereby, the at least one height-equalizing, plate-shaped, modular top part, which top part sits on a portion of the frame on which the plate lies, can be securely fastened to the frame of the unit, and also has heat sources distributed under its plate and acting indirectly by radiation through the plate, permits all the cooking, frying and/or warming positions to lie in a plane of equal height. The plane of equal height is defined by the height of the open, atmospheric gas burners located above the level of the plate or by their corresponding pot grates. The plates form two planes parallel to one another and the height of which plates is different.
A stove for cooking food, said stove comprising:
A kit to adapt a stove to a stove with different cooking planes at a substantially uniform cooking height, said stove comprising a stove body, at least one open atmospheric gas burner, the at least one open atmospheric gas burner being disposed on the stove body, the at least one open atmospheric gas burner comprising a first cooking plane to receive a bottom of a cooking utensil, and a planar area being disposed about the at least one open atmospheric gas burner, said kit comprising:
A cooking unit comprising:
