Abstract
Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus that is capable of partially heating a cooking chamber depending upon an amount of food to be cooked through a relatively simple mechanical structure without using an additional control unit. The cooking apparatus includes a cooking chamber, a hot air supply unit to supply hot air into the cooking chamber, and a divider to divide the cooking chamber. The hot air supply unit includes a heater, a blowing fan to supply air heated by the heater into the cooking chamber, a fan cover having inlet holes and outlet holes, an opening and closing cover to partially open and close the inlet holes and the outlet holes of the fan cover, and interlocking units operating together with the attachment and detachment of the divider to move the opening and closing cover.
