Abstract
An induction cooker includes a first coil, a second coil, a third coil, and a controller. Responsive to determining that a heating target placed above a first coil is formed of a magnetic material, a heating target placed above a second coil is formed of a magnetic material or a composite containing a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material, and a heating target placed above a third coil is formed of a non-magnetic material, the controller stops an operation of a first inverter circuit, causes a second inverter circuit and a third inverter circuit to operate, and sets a frequency of a third high-frequency current to be higher than a frequency of a second high-frequency current.
