Abstract: In a method for a cooktop, in particular for producing and/or operating the cooktop, which has at least one variable cooking surface, the cooking surface is partitioned in an operating mode along a partitioning direction into a plurality of heating zones to which at least one heating parameter is assigned in each case in a location-dependent manner in order to heat a cooking utensil that is deposited on the heating zone. In order to ensure flexible production and/or flexible operation of the cooktop, during partitioning of the cooking surface into the heating zones in at least one peripheral region of the cooking surface, at least one cooking utensil characteristic is taken into account.

Abstract: An induction cooking appliance apparatus includes a power unit designed to supply an induction heating unit with power in one operating state, a power supply unit designed to supply energy to a further unit in the operating state, a main filter unit designed to filter the power unit, and a secondary filter unit designed to filter the power supply unit. The main filter unit and the secondary filter unit are designed at least in part as a single piece and share a common filter unit for filtering the power supply unit in an inactive mode of the power unit.

Abstract: A household appliance device includes a control unit which is designed to control an induction target repetitively with a switching frequency and to supply the induction target with energy. The control unit is designed to modulate in an operating state through frequency modulation the switching frequency within a modulation period which corresponds to an integer multiple of a half period of a mains AC voltage.

Abstract: A cooking appliance device includes a control and/or regulating unit provided to repetitively control a first induction target with a first heating current frequency in a periodic continuous heating operating state, which is allocated an operating period, to supply the first induction target with energy, and to operate the first induction target in a switched-on interval of the operating period with a heating power. The control and/or regulating unit is provided to select in the continuous heating operating state a sum of all switched-on intervals of the operating period as a multiple of a reciprocal value of the first heating current frequency.

Abstract: A cooking appliance device includes a control and/or regulating unit which is provided such that in a periodic continuous heating operation state, which is allocated at least one operating period, an induction target is repetitively controlled, supplied with energy, and operated in a switched-on interval of the operating period with a heating power, and that in the continuous heating operating state a heating current frequency for the induction target in the switched-on interval of the operating period is varied.
