Abstract: Cooking hob, in particular induction cooking hob, including a housing (10) having a housing bottom wall (12) and housing sidewalls (14a-d, 34) connected with a cooking hob plate of the cooking hob, wherein the housing (10) forms at least one interior space (16) in which electric and/or electronic components of the cooking hob are arrangeable or arranged, wherein the housing (10) comprises at least one electric terminal (28) being formed integrally to the housing (10) and/or wherein at least one section of one of the housing side walls (14a-d, 34) is a double-walled section (46) having an inner wall (48) and an outer wall (54), wherein the outer wall (54) comprises at least one opening (62).

Abstract: A cooking device with at least one cooking region comprises a control unit (2) configured to be coupled with a communication interface (12,16) for receiving voice signals as control commands from a user or data signals as control commands from a remote control device. The control unit (2) is configured for controlling a power supply to the at least one cooking region (4-1,4-2,4-3). The control unit (2) is configured to accept commands from the communication interface (12,16) only upon recognition of the presence of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an external user interface (10) for controlling at least one domestic appliance (12). The external user interface (10) includes at least one input device (14), at least one output device (14), at least one control unit and at least one memory for storing data and/or programs. The external user interface (10) is formed as a mobile device and connectable to a predetermined group of domestic appliances (12), wherein the external user interface (10) is provided for controlling said group of domestic appliances (12), and wherein data and/or programs related to the domestic appliances (12) are stored in the memory of the external user interface (10).

Abstract: An induction coil assembly for an induction cooking hob has a coil winding, a lower electrically isolating sheet and optionally a thermally insulating sheet. The induction coil assembly further includes a carrier plate for supporting the lower electrically isolating sheet, the coil winding and the thermally insulating sheet. At least two power cables are provided for each coil winding. The power cables are at least partially arranged at a bottom side of the carrier plate and act as spring elements, so that the induction coil assembly can be pressed or is pressed against a glass ceramic panel of the induction cooking hob.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an induction coil assembly (10) for an induction cooking hob. The induction coil assembly (10) comprises at least one coil winding (15), at least one lower electrically isolating sheet (14) and optionally at least one thermally insulating sheet (16). The coil winding (15) is dedicated to one lower electrically isolating sheet (14) and one thermally insulating sheet (16). The coil winding (15) is arranged above the dedicated lower electrically isolating sheet (14), while the thermally insulating sheet (16) is arranged above the dedicated coil winding (15). The induction coil assembly (10) comprises a carrier plate (12) provided for supporting the lower electrically isolating sheet (14), the coil winding (15) and the thermally insulating sheet (16). The carrier plate (12) is made of a metal sheet, preferably an aluminium sheet, or of a plastic sheet.

Abstract: The invention proposes an induction cooker (100), an induction cooking vessel (305) and an induction cooking arrangement (300) wherein in an advantageous manner an outside wall (210) of the induction cooking vessel (305) is prevented from being heated by induction cooking elements (230) by shielding it with a ring element (110) extending underneath the outside wall (210). In this manner, a sophisticated induction heater together with an induction cooking vessel is provided that save energy and have a long-term usability quality.
