Abstract: A placeable cooktop utensil includes: at least one handle having a gripping portion with at least one gripping region that is integrated in the handle so as to allow a user to grip the placeable utensil with a hand; a controller; and a transmitting unit connected in signal communication with the controller so as to transmit signals from the placeable utensil to the cooktop. The at least one gripping region has at least one touch sensor connected in signal communication with the controller so as to detect when the at least one handle is gripped. The at least one touch sensor substantially simultaneously detects a force and a position of at least one finger of the hand. The placeable cooktop utensil includes an output unit connected in signal communication with the controller. The output unit and/or the transmitting unit is controllable as a function of an output signal.
