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 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.
