An induction heating device is provided that can realize an accrete sensing of the temperature of a to-be-heated object and that is user-friendly. To realize this, the induction heating device includes a sensor for sensing the temperature of the to-be-heated object and can carry out a heating operation only when it is determined that the to-be-heated object exists above the sensor. A display having a circular design and characters for example that shows the position of this sensor is provided on a top plate of the induction heating device.
