Definitions

  • the invention concerns hobs formed as a part of a freestanding range or as a built-in range or as a cooktop.
  • the invention particularly concerns a pan support supported on a top plate of the hob, which facilitates the alignment of a cooking pan.
  • hobs are formed is various types as being referred to as "cooktop” because they will be positioned on a worktop such as a counter, an upper panel of an appliance, or as integrated to an upper panel of a range, or referred to as "built-in” as can be built into a counter of a kitchen unit, or integrated into an upper panel of a range.
  • the cooking energy of the hob is provided by a burner. For safety reasons, a certain distance in height is provided between the burner and the cooking pan. A heat energy output from the burner is also provided at this distance.
  • a pan support is used on the top plate of the hob. The pan supports provide a space for the energy output and also provide support for the cooking pan at this distance.
  • the pan support is a support for the cooking pan. Therefore, the pan support is manufactured from high strength materials to resist a specific weight considering a weight of the cooking pan and the foodstuff within the cooking pan.
  • the burners and the cooking pans are generally in a circular shape. This form helps the energy coming from the burner, to reach the cooking pan in an efficient manner. However, when the burner and the cooking pan could not be arranged in a coaxial manner, the heat energy is lost around the cooking pan. Consequently, care must be taken in positioning cooking pans when placing them on a pan support.
