The present disclosure relates to a cooking vessel for induction cooktops. The cooking vessel comprises at least one movable magnetic material base plate provided at heat conducting zone of the cooking vessel, wherein the movable magnetic material base plate transfers heat from the induction cooktop to contents in the cooking vessel. The cooking vessel further comprises at least one non-magnetic material base plate, placed adjacent to the at least one movable magnetic material base plate, wherein the non-magnetic material base plate blocks transfer of heat from induction cooktop to the contents. Further, an insulation pocket, placed adjacent to the at least one movable magnetic material base plate, is configured to house the at least one movable magnetic material base plate. Furthermore, an actuator is configured to displace the at least one movable magnetic material base plate from the heat conducting zone to the insulation pocket based on a control signal.
