Abstract
The invention relates to a method for boil detection at a heating zone of an induction hob (), the method comprising the steps of: —disabling (S) a power control mechanism of the induction hob by setting the frequency of the AC-current provided to an induction coil of the induction hob to a fixed value; —measuring (S) values of an electrical parameter provided within the induction hob (); —interpolating (S) the measured electrical parameter values by gathering a plurality of values of the electrical parameter within a time window and calculating the average value of said gathered plurality of values thereby obtaining interpolated electrical parameter values. —calculating (S) a gradient measure indicative for the differential change of the interpolated electrical parameter values over time; —determining (S) the boil point based on the calculated gradient measure.
