Abstract
The present invention provides an inductive heating cooking device capable of detecting a temperature of a bottom of a pan instantly without delay in detection of temperature, and precisely keeping a temperature of a cooking container constant, and control method thereof, and control program thereof. The inductive heating cooking device includes a top plate () on which a cooking container is placed, a heating coil () to which a high-frequency current is applied to generate an induction magnetic field for heating the cooking container, an input unit () configured to receive a command for keeping a temperature of the cooking container at a constant temperature, a control unit () configured to control a heating of the cooking container by controlling the high-frequency current to be applied to the heating coil, and an infrared ray sensor () configured to detect an infrared ray energy radiated from the cooking container through the top plate. The control unit () controls the high-frequency current to be applied to the heating coil based on an output of the infrared ray sensor so as to keep the temperature of the cooking container at the constant temperature according to the command received by the input unit.
