The present invention relates to a temperature information assembly for a cooking hob (). The temperature information assembly comprises at least one SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor () permanently or removably attached or attachable at or in a cooking pot (), at least one sensor antenna () permanently or removably attached or attachable at the cooking pot () and electrically connected to the SAW temperature sensor (), at least one reader () permanently or removably attached or attachable in or on the cooking hob (), and at least one reader antenna () permanently or removably attached or attachable in or on the cooking hob () and electrically connected to the reader (). The SAW temperature sensor () is wireless connected or connectable to the reader () via the sensor antenna () and the reader antenna (). The reader () is electrically connected or connectable to a control unit () of the cooking hob () in order to control the cooking process. Further, the present invention relates to a cooking hob () with the temperature information assembly. Moreover, the present invention relates to a cooking pot () with the SAW temperature sensor () and the sensor antenna () or prepared for receiving said SAW temperature sensor () and sensor antenna ().

Temperature information assembly for a cooking hob

The present invention relates to a temperature detection assembly () for a cooking pot (). Said temperature detection assembly () comprises a straight and elongated bar (), at least one SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor () arranged inside a lower end portion of the bar (), a sensor antenna () connected to an upper end of the bar (), and at least one handle () connected to the upper end of the bar (). The SAW temperature sensor () or a heat conducting element connected to said SAW temperature sensor () is spaced from a lower end of the bar () by a predetermined distance, wherein a non-heat-conducting material is arranged between the SAW temperature sensor () or the heat conducting element, respectively, and the lower end of the bar (). Further, the present invention relates to a lid () for a cooking pot (), wherein the lid () is provided for receiving a temperature detection assembly () with a straight and elongated bar (). The lid () comprises an elongated guide tube () for receiving the bar () of the temperature detection assembly (), wherein an outer diameter of the bar () is marginally smaller than an inner diameter the guide tube ().

Temperature detection assembly and a corresponding lid for a cooking pot

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