  • a cook-top;

    an induction cooking zone above the cook-top;

    a temperature sensor adjacent the induction cooking zone; and

    a pad adapted to be placed on the cook-top such that its removal from the cook-top is not impeded and adapted to receive a cooking vessel placed in the induction cooking zone;

    wherein the pad comprises a thermally insulating portion and a thermally transmissive member;

    wherein the thermally transmissive member is formed from a material having a higher thermal conductivity than a material of which the thermally insulating portion is formed; and

    wherein said thermally transmissive member is disposed in an opening in the thermally insulating portion of the pad and is adapted to transmit heat from the cooking vessel to the temperature sensor.
