1. An induction stove assembly, the assembly comprising:
- 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.

Abstract
An induction stove assembly that utilizes pads between the cook-top of the stove and cooking vessels placed on the stove for heating. The pads are easily removable and interchangeable with other similar pads. The pads help protect the cook-top from damage, make clean-up more efficient, and insulate the cook-top from excessive heating.
