Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a first cooking zone () and a second cooking zone () of an induction cooking hob, wherein each cooking zone () is supplied by a corresponding generator (), and wherein the method comprises the steps of inputting a requested power (P, P) for each cooking zone (), activating a one-zone mode, if the requested power (P, P) for one cooking zone () is bigger than zero and the requested power (P, P) for the other one cooking zone () is zero, and activating a two-zones mode, if the requested powers (P, P) for both cooking zones () are bigger than zero. If the two-zones mode is activated, then an algorithm () is selected from a set of algorithms () in dependence of the requested powers (P, P) for the cooking zones ().
