Abstract

Provided is a cooking apparatus including a first heating unit that has a first hole and generates heat using a first heat source, a second heating unit that is arranged to be stacked on the first heating unit, has a second hole formed at a position corresponding to the first hole, and generates heat using a second heat source, and a temperature detection unit that is arranged to protrude to the outside of the second hole while being arranged in the first hole of the first heating unit and the second hole of the second heating unit, and detects a temperature of a cooking vessel when the cooking vessel is brought into contact with the temperature detection unit. The output of each of the first heating unit and the second heating unit is controlled at levels of multiple stages by detecting a temperature of a lower portion of the cooking vessel, and food is cooked at an optimum temperature, thereby improving the taste of the food resulting in improved user satisfaction. The first heating unit and the second heating unit is operated together, so that it is possible to prevent emission of the heat of the second heating unit to the outside by the heat generated by the first heating unit, thereby reducing energy consumed in the second heating unit while increasing the heating rate.
