A water level detection device capable of preventing water from overflowing due to a bumping phenomenon or excessive number of cooking objects and capable of detecting a water level inside a cookware, comprises: a first probe; a second probe; a lean angle sensor configured to detect a lean angle of the first probe and the second probe; a capacitance sensor configured to detect capacitance between the first probe and the second probe; and a processor configured to calculate a danger level of the cookware based on an intensity of a current flowing from the first probe to the second probe and the lean angle of the first probe and the second probe; and configured to determine whether the water level inside the cookware reaches the danger level based on the capacitance between the first probe and the second probe.

Water level detection device and method for controlling water level detection device

Disclosed herein is a terminal device and a cooking apparatus capable of guiding an arrangement of a food item in the cooking apparatus comprising a plurality of heat sources to form a plurality of cooking zones having different heating characteristics. The terminal device comprises an imaging device, a user interface provided to display an image captured through the imaging device and provided to receive an input from a user, and a controller configured, in response to determining that the captured image corresponds to an image of a cooking apparatus and in response to obtaining food item information from the user, to control the user interface to display an augmented reality (AR) image of the food item superimposed on a recommended cooking zone among a plurality of cooking zones of the cooking apparatus.
