It is an object of the present invention to provide an induction heating apparatus that can enable a plurality of heating coil to perform heating by sharing a inverter having semiconductor switches in use, thereby adjusting a power without increasing losses of the semiconductor switches so much with respect to the respective heating coils, the present invention being configured such that the inverter alternately outputs drive signals respectively having each of two operating frequencies to the plurality of heating coils in every predetermined operation lapse of time and the plurality of heating coils are respectively connected to capacitance circuits in the inverter to have the different frequency characteristics.

Induction heating apparatus

An induction heating cooker in which a size of heating coils can be freely set without being restricted by a size of an opening of a cabinet of a kitchen unit. The induction heating cooker has an outer casing including a flange extending in an outward direction from a top portion of a container receptacle, with a heating coil container space being provided between the flange and a plate, such that one portion of each of the heating coils is disposed in the heating coil container space.
