A method for controlling the operation of a set of inductors of an induction cooking hob, said inductors being distributed in a two-dimensional array in a cooking surface of said induction cooking hob, and each inductor being powered by an inverter powering device, said inductors forming means of heating a container and means of detecting the presence of a container, said method comprising at least the following steps: - detecting at least one heating zone composed of a subset of inductors covered at least partially by a container; - depicting said at least one heating zone on at least one means of display; - turning on the inductors of said at least one heating zone; - turning off the inductors of said at least one heating zone; - after turning off the inductors of said at least one heating zone, determining that a first temperature threshold value has been exceeded within at least one warming zone in said cooking surface belonging to said at least one heating zone; characterized in that said method further comprises at least the following step: - displaying at least one indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, - wherein the position of said at least one indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display is dependent on the position of said at least one warming zone detected in said cooking surface, and - wherein after detection of at least one new heating zone composed of a subset of inductors covered at least partially by a container, if the depiction of said at least one new heating zone on said at least one means of display at least partially overlaps the display of at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, then said method comprises a step of turning off said at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, then said method comprises a step of turning off said at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat then a step of depicting said at least one new heating zone on said at least one means of display. - detecting at least one heating zone composed of a subset of inductors covered at least partially by a container; - depicting said at least one heating zone on at least one means of display; - turning on the inductors of said at least one heating zone; - turning off the inductors of said at least one heating zone; - after turning off the inductors of said at least one heating zone, determining that a first temperature threshold value has been exceeded within at least one warming zone in said cooking surface belonging to said at least one heating zone; - displaying at least one indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, - wherein the position of said at least one indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display is dependent on the position of said at least one warming zone detected in said cooking surface, and - wherein after detection of at least one new heating zone composed of a subset of inductors covered at least partially by a container, if the depiction of said at least one new heating zone on said at least one means of display at least partially overlaps the display of at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, then said method comprises a step of turning off said at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat on said at least one means of display, then said method comprises a step of turning off said at least one zone for viewing an indicator of residual heat then a step of depicting said at least one new heating zone on said at least one means of display.
