Abstract
The cooking device includes a top plate on which containers are to be placed, heating devices provided under the top plate, electrodes provided on a lower surface of the top plate, capacitance detection devices for detecting changes in capacitance of the electrodes, and a boil over determination device for determining a liquid boiled over from the containers on the basis of the changes in capacitance detected by the capacitance detection devices in heating operations of the heating devices. The electrodes have a plurality of arc-shaped detection parts provided along periphery of each of the heating devices.
