Abstract
A method of operating a cooktop appliance includes receiving a first user-determined set temperature, determining a first set of parameters for a closed-loop control based on the first user-defined set temperature and operating a heating element of the cooktop appliance according to a first output of closed-loop control using the first set of parameters. The method also includes receiving a second user-determined set temperature after the first user-defined set temperature. The second user-defined set temperature differs from the first user-defined set temperature. The method further includes determining a second set of parameters of the closed-loop control based on the second user-determined set temperature, and operating the heating element according to a second output of the closed-loop control using the second set of parameters based on the second user-determined set temperature.
