PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To favorably heat a material to be heated such as food with microwaves while the food is wrapped with superheated steam. SOLUTION: This microwave heater includes: a heating chamber 13 storing the material to be heated; a steam generating means 15 for supplying the superheated steam to the heating chamber; a superheated steam keeping means 22 for preventing lowering of temperature of the superheated steam in the heating chamber; and a microwave generating means 14 for applying microwaves to the material to be heated. By this configuration, the material to be heated is directly placed on the superheated steam keeping means 22, whereby endothermic energy is effectively transmitted to the material to be heated through a heating plate, thereby overcoming the disadvantage of uneven heating due to the existence of standing wave specific to the microwave.
