Abstract
A cooking hob has a cooking hob plate made of glass-ceramic and in which several individual heating units are provided that have a regular hexagonal shape and adjoin each other. Elongate illumination segments are disposed on the outer contours of said heating units. When the cooking hob is operated with several adjacent heating units as a connected heating area, the entire outer contour of said heating area is illuminated, thus indicating to the user which heating units are activated together.
