A glass melting tank with at least one pair of heating electrodes projecting into the glass melt and a process for melting glass are described. The glass melting tank has, at least in the area of the melt, a narrowed cross section area and the glass melting tank has at least one heating electrode in front of and a corresponding heating electrode behind the narrowed cross section area and in this way an increase in the temperature of the melt can be achieved in the narrowed area. A preferred application is the refining of glass melts.

Glass melting tank and process for melting glass

A cooking appliance with a glass-ceramic hob having a plurality of cooking zones at least one of which cooking zones is designated as a rapid cooking zone. The cooking zones can be heated essentially by electrically operated heating devices, and the rapid cooking zone is formed by a ceramic hot plate integrated into the glass-ceramic hob.
