Arrangement of an electrical heating element as a cooking zone, having as a carrier a ceramic of very high thermal conductivity, in a cutout of a surface consisting of glass-ceramic, glass, ceramic, metal or plastic. The ceramic carrier of the heating element can rest with overlap on regions of the surface which deviate from the main plane of the plate-like surface so as form elevations running linearly, such as cone frustums, spherical segments and/or cones, and which define the edge of the cutout. This elevated rest of the heating element serving as a bearing, and the underside of the surface serving as an abutment for a cover arranged below the main plane of the surface and closing off the cutout downwards, and the heating element being fixed positively and non-positively in the cutout of the surface by way of fastening elements connected firmly to the heating element and firmly and releasably to the cover.
