Abstract
A cooking apparatus includes a cooking plate including a cooking area divided into a plurality of sub-areas; a plurality of induction heating coil groups corresponding to the plurality of sub-areas; a plurality of drive assemblies configured to supply a driving current to each of the plurality of induction heating coil groups; a user interface configured to receive a compartment command that divides the cooking area of the cooking plate into the plurality of sub-areas. The cooking apparatus includes a sub-assembly configured to determine an induction heating coil group corresponding to the sub-area in which a cooking vessel is placed when the compartment command is input; and a controller configured to control a drive assembly to supply a respective driving current to the determined induction heating coil group such that a preset target temperature is distributed to an induction heating coil overlapping the sub-area in which the cooking vessel is placed.
