Cooking apparatus and method of controlling the same

摘要

A cooking apparatus including an impedance measurer that measures impedance of an object to be heated by applying electricity to a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion that contact an outer side of the object to be heated and that are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance and a controller that determines a cooking state of the object to be heated based on the measured impedance.

主权项

1. A cooking apparatus comprising:
a holder to support an object to be heated, the holder comprising a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion; and a guide portion to support the holder; an impedance measurer configured to, while the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion are placed outside of, and in contact with an outer surface of, the object to be heated by the cooking apparatus, and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, measure an impedance of the object to be heated by applying electricity to the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion; a controller to determine a cooking state of the object to be heated based on the measured impedance, wherein:
the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion are electrically connected to the impedance measurer;the guide portion comprises a pair of first terminals that are connected to the impedance measurer; andthe holder comprises a pair of second terminals that are connected to the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion and that are formed in positions corresponding to the pair of first terminals.
