Vorzugsweise ist die Kochfeld-Steuereinheit dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand unterschiedliche Status durch unterschiedliche Frequenzspektren einer Ausgabegröße der Ausgabeeinheit auszugeben. Unter einem "Frequenzspektrum" soll insbesondere ein Spektrum einer Wellenlänge, wie beispielsweise ein Spektrum einer Farbe, und/oder ein Spektrum einer Schallfrequenz, wie beispielsweise ein Spektrum eines Tons, verstanden werden. Das Frequenzspektrum könnte insbesondere eine Frequenz und/oder eine Mischung aus zumindest zwei Frequenzen sein. Die Ausgabeeinheit weist insbesondere zumindest zwei, vorteilhaft zumindest drei, besonders vorteilhaft zumindest vier, vorzugsweise zumindest sechs und besonders bevorzugt eine Vielzahl an Ausgabemitteln auf, die zu einer Ausgabe in verschiedenen Frequenzen, insbesondere Farben, vorgesehen sind. Insbesondere könnte jeder Status einer anderen Frequenz und/oder einer anderen Frequenzkombination zugeordnet sein. Beispielsweise könnte ein eine Warnung darstellender Status einer roten Farbe und/oder einer hohen Frequenz zugeordnet sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich könnte ein eine Bereitschaft darstellender Status einer grünen Farbe und/oder einer tiefen Frequenz zugeordnet sein. Dadurch können unterschiedliche Status insbesondere in einfacher Weise voneinander unterschieden werden. Insbesondere kann eine intuitive Zuordnung eines Status zu einem Frequenzspektrum ermöglicht werden.For example, the hob control unit could be provided to output different statuses in the operating state through the same frequency spectra of the output variable of the output unit. The hob control unit is preferably provided to output different statuses in the operating state by means of different frequency spectra of an output variable of the output unit. A "frequency spectrum" should in particular mean a spectrum of a wavelength, such as a spectrum of a color, and / or a spectrum of a sound frequency, such as a spectrum of a tone, can be understood. The frequency spectrum could in particular be a frequency and / or a mixture of at least two frequencies. The output unit has in particular at least two, advantageously at least three, particularly advantageously at least four, preferably at least six and particularly preferably a large number of output means, which are provided for output in different frequencies, in particular colors. In particular, each status could be assigned to a different frequency and / or a different frequency combination. For example, a status representing a warning could be assigned a red color and / or a high frequency. Alternatively or additionally, a status representing readiness could be assigned a green color and / or a low frequency. In this way, different statuses can be distinguished from one another in a particularly simple manner. In particular, an intuitive assignment of a status to a frequency spectrum can be made possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kochfeldvorrichtung zumindest eine Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle aufweist und dass die Kochfeld-Steuereinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, eine Zuordnung des Gargeschirrs zu einem Bedienelement der Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle mittels der Ausgabeeinheit und der Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle auszugeben.

Die Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle weist insbesondere zumindest ein Bedienelement auf, welches insbesondere zu einer Eingabe und/oder Auswahl von Betriebsparametern vorgesehen ist, beispielsweise einer Heizleistung und/oder einer Heizleistungsdichte und/oder einer Heizzone. Insbesondere weist die Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest eine Kochfeld-Ausgabeeinheit auf, die insbesondere zu einer Ausgabe zumindest eines Betriebsparameters und/oder zumindest eines Werts eines Betriebsparameters und/oder vorteilhaft eines dem Gargeschirr zugeordneten Status vorgesehen ist. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine Unabhängigkeit des Bedienelements von einer Aufstellposition des Gargeschirrs und/oder von einer Ausgestaltung eines die Kochfeldvorrichtung aufweisenden Kochfelds und/oder von einer Art an zu einer Erhitzung verwendeten Heizelementen der Kochfeldvorrichtung erreicht werden.According to the invention, it is proposed that the hob device has at least one hob operator interface and that the hob control unit is provided to output an assignment of the cooking utensils to an operating element of the hob operator interface by means of the output unit and the hob operator interface. A “hob user interface” is to be understood in particular as a unit which is provided for communication with an operator and which is assigned in particular to part of the hob device and / or the hob device. The hob user interface has in particular at least one control element which is provided in particular for entering and / or selecting operating parameters, for example a heating power and / or a heating power density and / or a heating zone. In particular, the hob user interface has at least one hob output unit, which is provided in particular to output at least one operating parameter and / or at least one value of an operating parameter and / or advantageously a status assigned to the cookware. In this way, in particular, independence of the operating element from a set-up position of the cooking utensils and / or from a configuration of a hob having the hob device and / or from a type of heating element of the hob device used for heating can be achieved.

Insbesondere ist die Kochfeld-Steuereinheit dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand zumindest eine Aufstellposition des Gargeschirrs auf einer Kochfläche mittels der Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle auszugeben, insbesondere anzuzeigen. Die Kochfeldvorrichtung weist insbesondere eine Kochfeldplatte auf. Die Kochfeldplatte ist insbesondere zu einem Aufstellen von Gargeschirr vorgesehen. Insbesondere begrenzt eine einem Bediener zugewandte Oberfläche der Kochfeldplatte in einer Einbaulage die Kochfläche in einer einem Untergrund zugewandten Richtung. Der Untergrund ist insbesondere ein Boden und/oder ein Fußboden. Insbesondere weist die Kochfeldvorrichtung eine Sensoreinheit auf, welche insbesondere zu einer Detektion wenigstens eines aufgestellten Gargeschirrs vorgesehen ist. Insbesondere ist die Sensoreinheit, insbesondere wenigstens teilweise, einstückig mit dem Heizelement ausgebildet. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine geringe Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Verwechslung zwischen zwei aufgestellten Gargeschirren erzielt werden.In particular, the hob control unit is provided to output, in particular to display, at least one set-up position of the cooking utensils on a cooking surface by means of the hob user interface in the operating state. The hob device has in particular a hob plate. The hob plate is provided in particular for setting up cooking utensils.

The subsurface is in particular a floor and / or a floor. In particular, the hob device has a sensor unit which is provided in particular to detect at least one cookware that has been set up. In particular, the sensor unit is formed, in particular at least partially, in one piece with the heating element. In particular, this makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of a mix-up between two cookware that has been set up.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kochfeld-Steuereinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, in dem Betriebszustand die Zuordnung durch Verwendung wenigstens im Wesentlichen der gleichen Farbe bei einer Anzeige mittels der Ausgabeeinheit und mittels der Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle anzuzeigen. Insbesondere ist die Kochfeld-Steuereinheit dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand bei der Anzeige mittels der Ausgabeeinheit eine erste Farbe und bei der Anzeige mittels der Kochfeld-Bedienerschnittstelle ebenfalls die erste Farbe zu verwenden. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine Verwechslungsgefahr zwischen zumindest zwei aufgestellten Gargeschirren minimiert und/oder eine intuitive Zuordnung durch Verwendung derselben Farben ermöglicht werden.It is further proposed that the hob control unit is provided to display the assignment in the operating state by using at least essentially the same color in a display by means of the output unit and by means of the hob operator interface. In particular, the hob control unit is provided to use a first color in the operating state for the display by means of the output unit and likewise the first color for the display by means of the hob operator interface. In this way, in particular, a risk of confusion between at least two cookware that has been set up can be minimized and / or an intuitive assignment can be made possible by using the same colors.

Das Gargeschirr weist insbesondere zumindest eine Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit auf, welche insbesondere zumindest einen Lebensmittelaufnahmeraum definiert und insbesondere wenigstens im Wesentlichen begrenzt. Insbesondere begrenzt die Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit den Lebensmittelaufnahmeraum in einem aufgestellten Zustand des Gargeschirrs in einer parallel zu einer Haupterstreckungsebene der Kochfeldplatte ausgerichteten Ebene bezüglich eines geometrischen Schwerpunkts des Lebensmittelaufnahmeraums über einen Winkelbereich von mindestens 90°, insbesondere von mindestens 180°, vorteilhaft von mindestens 270°, besonders vorteilhaft von mindestens 330° und vorzugsweise von mindestens 350°. Die Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit begrenzt den Lebensmittelaufnahmeraum insbesondere mit Ausnahme einer einem Gargeschirrboden der Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit abgewandten Seite von allen Seiten. Unter einer "Haupterstreckungsebene" eines Objekts soll insbesondere eine Ebene verstanden werden, welche parallel zu einer größten Seitenfläche eines kleinsten gedachten geometrischen Quaders ist, welcher das Objekt gerade noch vollständig umschließt, und insbesondere durch den Mittelpunkt des Quaders verläuft.The cooking utensil has in particular at least one cooking utensil housing unit which in particular defines and in particular at least substantially delimits at least one food receiving space. In particular, the cooking utensil housing unit delimits the food receiving space when the cooking utensil is set up in a plane aligned parallel to a main extension plane of the hob plate with respect to a geometric center of gravity of the food receiving space over an angular range of at least 90 °, in particular of at least 180 °, advantageously of at least 270 °, particularly advantageous of at least 330 ° and preferably of at least 350 °. The cooking utensil housing unit delimits the food receiving space on all sides, in particular with the exception of a side facing away from a cooking utensil base of the cooking utensil housing unit. A "main plane of extent" of an object is to be understood in particular as a plane which is parallel to a largest side surface of a smallest imaginary geometric cuboid, which just completely surrounds the object, and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid.

Beispielsweise könnten die Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit und die Ausgabeeinheit in wenigstens einem montierten Zustand werkzeuglos lösbar miteinander verbunden sein.

Insbesondere ist die Ausgabeeinheit in wenigstens einem montierten Zustand stoffschlüssig und/oder werkzeuglos unlösbar mit der Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit verbunden. Insbesondere könnten die Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit und die Ausgabeeinheit zumindest stoffschlüssig, insbesondere mittels einer Klebeverbindung, miteinander verbunden sein, wodurch insbesondere ein Verlust der Ausgabeeinheit vermieden werden kann. Alternativ oder zusätzlich könnte die Ausgabeeinheit in dem montierten Zustand wenigstens zu einem Großteil in der Gargeschirrgehäuseeinheit integriert sein, wie beispielsweise in einem Gargeschirrhandgriff und/oder in einem Gargeschirrdeckel, wodurch insbesondere eine geschützte Anordnung der Ausgabeeinheit erreicht werden kann.For example, the cooking utensil housing unit and the dispensing unit could be detachably connected to one another without tools in at least one assembled state. The cooking utensil housing unit and the dispensing unit could in particular in at least one assembled state by means of a latching connection and / or by means of a connection produced by locking and / or by means of a connection produced by magnetic force and / or by means of at least one connection produced by negative pressure, for example by at least one suction button, be connected to each other. The dispensing unit is advantageously arranged in at least one assembled state on the cooking utensil housing unit, which in particular enables good accessibility and / or visibility of the dispensing unit.
