A cooktop appliance includes a gas burner disposed on a panel of the cooktop appliance and a grate with a plurality of fingers positioned above the gas burner. The plurality of fingers includes a sensor finger. A temperature sensor is mounted to the sensor finger of the plurality of fingers of the grate. The temperature sensor includes a first temperature probe extending above a top surface of the sensor finger at a first end of the sensor finger and a second temperature probe positioned within the sensor finger between the top surface of the sensor finger and a bottom surface of the sensor finger.

A cooktop includes a base and an electrically conductive coating applied to the lower surface of the base. The coating is composed of a paint containing electrically conductive particles dispersed in a silicone or polyester-silicone or epoxy-silicone resin. The conductive particles are selected from the group consisting of multi-wall or single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphene, copper metallic particles, nickel metallic particles, or combinations thereof.

An appliance including a cooking cavity wrapper and a first side wall disposed laterally adjacent a first side of the cooking cavity wrapper. The first side wall includes a first hemmed shelf formed as a U-shaped bend therein. The U-shaped bend defines an inward-extending flange comprising a top leg and a bottom leg disposed in face-to-face adjacency with one another. The first hemmed shelf is adapted to support a module of the appliance above the cooking cavity wrapper.

A cooking appliance is provided that includes a cooktop and a double oven. A first oven may be a standard radiant or convection oven. A second oven comprises a combined toaster-oven and air fryer. The combined toaster-oven and air fryer can include a heat source that is the same as or different from the heat source of the first oven. The heat source of the second oven can include a plurality of graphite bake heating elements and a plurality of graphite broil elements. The second oven includes a fan disposed configured to provide targeted air flow directly onto a food load that is placed inside said second oven.

In order to detect on an induction cooktop whether a cooking vessel with an integrated controller or smart functionality is arranged over an induction heating coil, the induction heating coils emit a short individual code. The latter can be detected and evaluated by the cooking vessel such that the cooking vessel emits a signal corresponding to this code which is received by an external operating means or the induction cooktop to locally associate this cooking vessel with this induction heating coil. Transmission or transfer of energy as a code proceeds at a frequency of at least 50 kHz, wherein a code has a plurality of pulse sequences, each of which has at least two pulses.

A domestic cooking stove comprises a frame that mounts a primary tube, one or more of nozzles for fuel injection, knobs for controlling the fuel injection, mixing tubes for modulating pressure gradient, burner tops for combustion of the air fuel mixture, and pan supports to support the vessel, heat reflectors to reflect heat, and legs to support the frame. Each heat reflector is positioned above burner top to provide secondary air entrainment for combustion by reducing a gap between an inner circumference of heat reflector and an outer circumference of the burner top to minimize heat losses. The heat reflector has a curved orientation to reduce heat transfer in a downward direction and generates eddies that increases heat transfer towards vessel bottom. The legs are positioned below the frame and has a predetermined height to maintain a gap between table top and the frame bottom surface for entrainment of air.

Disclosed are an electric range of which heat power is controlled without user intervention, and a control method therefor. The electric range controls heat power by using a gesture in which a user lifts an object to be heated. The electric range comprises a case; a cover plate which is coupled to the upper end of the case and which has an upper surface on which the object to be heated can be arranged; a heating part, which is disposed inside the case, for heating the object to be heated; and a control part for controlling the heating part. The control part controls the heating part so as to reduce the heating power generated by the heating part when the object to be heated, which is heated by the heating part, is lifted from the upper surface of the cover plate.

A cooking apparatus including a main body provided to accommodate an induction heating coil, and a glass assembly provided above the main body to allow a cooking container to be placed thereon. The glass assembly includes a first glass forming a first area on which the cooking container is to be placed, a second glass forming a second area separated from the first area, and a coupling member coupleable to each of the first glass and the second glass, the coupling member including a base disposed below the first glass and the second glass to support the first glass and the second glass while the first glass and the second glass are coupled to the coupling member, and a column formed to extend upward from the base and curved to correspond to a side surface of the first glass and a side surface of the second glass.
