cooking surface area
The area of the heated cooking surface the food sits on or between, as a numeral with an area unit (square inch or square centimetre, e.g. 200 sq in). Required: every surface cooker states the size of its cooking area, the headline figure a buyer chooses on. Homes on SurfaceCooker; introduces AreaUnits. Distinct from the appliance's overall footprint (the spine width x depth, which measures the body, not the heated plate) and from the capacity volumes of enclosed or walled cooking kinds (cavity_capacity, oil_capacity, pot_capacity, basket_capacity, pan_capacity) — a surface cooker has an exposed plate measured by its area, not a vessel measured by its volume. Stated as an area, not a single length, so a square plate and a long plate compare.
Cooking surface area is a measured figure, given in square centimeters.
It belongs to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
