Abstract: A cooking assembly for a cooker or a cooking top and comprises a cooking plate (1) and at least one heat generator (200) enabling a receptacle to be heated without coming directly into contact therewith. The cooking plate (1) includes an opening (4) associated with each heat generator (200) and enabling said generator to act directly, together with retractable closure means such as a moving plug (203) associated with each opening (4) to close said opening when the heat generator (200) is not in use, the moving plug (203) then being flush with the top surface (2) of the cooking plate (1), motorized means being provided for retracting said moving plug in order to unmask the heat generator so that it can be put into use. The invention is applicable to cooking assemblies for gas cookers and/or electric cookers having a cooking plate made of molded glass, of vitroceramic, or of agglomerated inorganic fibers.
