  • Patent number: 10088371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature detection assembly (10) for a cooking pot (24). Said temperature detection assembly (10) comprises a straight and elongated bar (12), at least one SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor (10) arranged inside a lower end portion of the bar (12), a sensor antenna (16) connected to an upper end of the bar (12), and at least one handle (18) connected to the upper end of the bar (12). The SAW temperature sensor (10) or a heat conducting element connected to said SAW temperature sensor (10) is spaced from a lower end of the bar (12) by a predetermined distance, wherein a non-heat-conducting material is arranged between the SAW temperature sensor (10) or the heat conducting element, respectively, and the lower end of the bar (12). Further, the present invention relates to a lid (20) for a cooking pot (24), wherein the lid (20) is provided for receiving a temperature detection assembly (10) with a straight and elongated bar (12).

  • Patent number: 9903594
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooking arrangement (1) comprising a cooking hob (2) which is arranged on a worktop (3), wherein the cooking hob (2) is supported on the worktop (3) by means of a carrier frame (4), wherein the cooking hob (2) has a vertical height (H) and a bottom member (6) with a bottom surface which is directed vertically downwards and wherein the worktop (3) has a top surface (7) which is directed vertically upwards. To allow an arrangement of the cooking hob (2) without machining a cutout into the worktop (3) the invention proposes that the carrier frame (4) is designed to support the cooking hob (2) in such a way that the bottom surface of the bottom member (6) is positioned in a vertical height equal or above (x) the vertical height of the top surface (7) of the worktop (3).
