Abstract
A cooking apparatus and a control method thereof, and more particularly, technology for determining the type of vessel placed in the cooking apparatus and controlling power in response to a state change of the placed vessel or a temperature change of a coil. In accordance with one aspect, a cooking apparatus includes: a coil on which a vessel is placed, configured to form a magnetic field upon application of a current; a detection sensor configured to detect a magnitude of an input current applied differently according to a type of the vessel and a magnitude of an input voltage of the cooking apparatus; and a controller configured to determine a type of the placed vessel according to a power value calculated based on the detected input current and input voltage, and to determine a heating mode of the cooking apparatus based on the determined type of vessel.
