The present disclosure relates to a cooking vessel for induction cooktops. The cooking vessel comprises at least one movable magnetic material base plate provided at heat conducting zone of the cooking vessel, wherein the movable magnetic material base plate transfers heat from the induction cooktop to contents in the cooking vessel. The cooking vessel further comprises at least one non-magnetic material base plate, placed adjacent to the at least one movable magnetic material base plate, wherein the non-magnetic material base plate blocks transfer of heat from induction cooktop to the contents. Further, an insulation pocket, placed adjacent to the at least one movable magnetic material base plate, is configured to house the at least one movable magnetic material base plate. Furthermore, an actuator is configured to displace the at least one movable magnetic material base plate from the heat conducting zone to the insulation pocket based on a control signal.

Disclosed are a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil having same. The pot cover assembly comprises a pot cover body and a spill-proof detection device. The spill-proof detection device is a capacitive detection device and it is provided on the pot cover body. At least a lower surface of the spill-proof detection device forms a detection plane and a capacitance value of the spill-proof detection device is changed as a function of a contact medium of the detection plane.

Cooking vessel that includes a container bottom, a container top comprising a flared section extending to a rim and at least one handle coupled to or extending from an outside surface of the flared section.

A system for detecting a possibility of boiling over and preventing said boiling over, the system comprising a vessel (101) having a lid (102), the lid (102) being characterised in that it is configured: to receive information on an initial level of a vessel content and a current level of the vessel content; and based on a difference between the initial level and the current level as well as the time of a creation of said difference: to instruct, by means of a controller (203), a height actuator (207) of the lid (102) to extend said lid (102) vertically, in order to extend the height of said vessel (101); and to instruct, by means of a controller (203), an aperture actuator (206) to create an aperture in a top of the lid (102) in order to facilitate exchange of heat.

A system consisting of a pot and a series of strainers, the series of strainers configured to allow liquids and gasses to move freely within the pot while containing foodstuffs. The strainers are disposed such that they disrupt the formation of bubbles that leads to boilover while minimizing the loss of volume within the pot. The system of strainers may look like an inverted dome coupled with a dome, allowing foods and liquids to expand within the pot without allowing bubbles to pile up and boilover. The system of strainers may be a single piece permanently coupled or may be one or more strainers removably coupled by a user. At least one of the strainers may include at least one grip. The system of strainers may include means by which they can be specifically positioned within the pot. The system may include at least one lid.

In a method for controlling a cooking appliance having heating devices and an internal cooking appliance controller by means of an external control device which is arranged outside the cooking appliance and may be a mobile telephone, this external control device provides the cooking appliance controller with control commands. The external control device is classified by the cooking appliance controller either as an automatic control device or as a manual control device, wherein its control commands are implemented by the cooking appliance controller after the classification. A check is carried out continuously or at intervals during operation of the cooking appliance in order to determine whether the classification still applies.
