Cooktop with: - a cooktop plate with a heating area and a display area, - heating devices in the heating area, - a display in the display area, the display being designed to display at least cooking vessel symbols (23a, 23b) and information with letters and/or numbers at any position thereon, - of a control device, - a cooking vessel recognition device, wherein the cooking vessel recognition device is designed to recognize a cooking vessel that can be heated with the heating devices and its position on the cooktop plate in the heating area, - a weighing device with weight sensors on the cooktop, the weighing device being designed to detect and measure a change in weight on and at the cooktop plate, characterized in that - the control device is designed to detect a cooking vessel, which can be heated with the cooktop, on the cooktop plate in the heating area and to indicate it on the display at a position corresponding to the position in the heating area, - the weighing device and the control device are designed to detect a position of the change in weight or of an object causing the change in weight on the cooktop plate in the heating area, and to display a detected and measured change in weight on the cooktop plate at a position corresponding to the position in the heating area as a weight indication on the display, - the control device is designed for: o in a first case, that a cooking vessel heatable by the cooktop has been recognized at the position of a detected weight change, at a position on the display corresponding to the position of the weight change in the heating area, a cooking vessel symbol (23a, 23b) is displayed and the display of the weight information is spatially assigned to the display of the cooking vessel on the display, in particular within it or at a distance of less than 2 cm from it, o in a second case, where no cooking vessel heatable by the cooktop has been detected at the position of a detected weight change, not to display a cooking vessel symbol (23a, 23b) at a position on the display corresponding to the position of the weight change in the heating area, but to display only the weight indication. -
