Abstract

An induction cooking appliance (10) includes a cooktop (12) having a cook surface (14), an induction coil (16) below the cook surface (14) and configured to heat cookware (18) on the cook surface (14), and control circuitry (26) in communication with the induction coil (16) and the temperature sensor (20, 22). The control circuitry (26) is configured to measure an inductance (L) of the induction coil (16), determine a first temperature estimate based on the inductance (L), monitor the inductance (L) of the induction coil (16) for detection of a change of the inductance (L) and, if the change of the inductance (L) is detected, determine a rate of the change of the inductance (L) over a predetermined time interval, whereby if the rate of change of the inductance (L) exceeds a pre-determined rate of change, reduce a weight of the change of the inductance (L) in processing the estimated temperature of the cookware (18), and control a power supply (46) supplied to the induction coil (16) based on the estimated temperature of the cookware (18).
