Abstract
An electronic cooking apparatus having a steam supply device for supplying steam to a cooking chamber of an oven is provided. The electronic cooking apparatus may include a steam generating device including a steam supply portion that generates steam and supplies the steam to a cooking chamber, and a water level sensing module that senses a level of water inside of the steam supply portion using a low water level sensor and a high water level sensor. In addition, the electronic cooking apparatus may include a water supply pump that supplies water from a water tank to the steam supply portion; a drain pump that collects condensed water from the steam supply portion to the water tank; and a controller that controls on/off operations of the water supply pump or the drain pump according to a change in the level of water in the steam supply portion sensed by the water level sensing module.
