A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11917742B2) discloses a unique cooktop design that features a variable cooking surface partitioned into multiple heating zones based on the characteristics of the cooking utensil being used. The extent of the heating zones is determined by factors such as the size of the utensil, with heating parameters assigned to each zone based on its position on the cooking surface. This innovative system allows for efficient and customized heating of cooking utensils, enhancing the cooking experience for users.

Furthermore, the patented cooktop includes a control unit that can adjust the partitioning of the cooking surface in real-time, accommodating multiple cooking utensils simultaneously. Each utensil is treated individually, with its specific characteristics taken into account during the partitioning process. This feature ensures optimal heating for each utensil, regardless of their size or placement on the cooktop. Overall, the patented system offers a versatile and user-friendly cooking experience, making it a valuable addition to modern kitchen appliances.
