Abstract
When a pan made of a non-magnetic material, such as aluminum, is used for cooking while the temperature is being controlled, a notice is made to the user to the effect that the temperature control function has been stopped and that the temperature should be manually adjusted, when the material detection section detects that the pan is made of a non-magnetic material or a pan floating phenomenon has occurred, in order to prevent abnormal increase in the temperature of the pan due to incorrect temperature detection caused by the pan floating phenomenon, a set temperature is lowered.
