Abstract: A cooking system, in particular an induction cooking system, includes a positioning plate, a heating unit arranged below the positioning plate, and a thermal distribution unit designed to distribute. The thermal distribution unit includes a part which is arranged between the positioning plate and the heating unit.

Abstract: A cooking system, in particular an induction cooking system, includes a mounting plate, and a thermal distribution unit designed to distribute heat and including a first region having a first thermal resistance to the mounting plate, and a second region having a second thermal resistance to the mounting plate, with the second thermal resistance substantially deviating from the first thermal resistance.

Abstract: A cooking system includes a placement plate, and a radiation guiding element which is permeable for infrared radiation and visible light. The radiation guiding element extends in an assembled state at least in part along a normal direction perpendicular to a main extent plane of the placement plate from an upper side to a lower side of the placement plate.

Abstract: An induction cooking appliance device includes an independent heating unit including an inductor, and a power supply unit configured to provide an alternating current for the first heating unit. The power supply unit includes a configuration unit configured to provide for a change of configuration of the power supply unit between a half-bridge topology and a full-bridge topology for supplying the first heating unit.

Abstract: An induction device includes an induction unit including a sensor unit which is arranged above the induction unit in a mounted position and includes a plurality of activity sensor elements arranged in a distributed manner and configured to detect a sensor parameter in the form of an activity parameter of the induction unit. A control unit is provided to analyze the sensor parameter.
