Abstract

Provided herein are a cooking apparatus. The cooking apparatus includes a cavity, and a microwave generator to generate and output microwaves of a plurality of frequencies to heat an object within the cavity, wherein the microwave generator includes a controller to calculate heating efficiencies based on microwaves reflected by the inside of the cavity from among the output microwaves and to calculate heating modes consisting of microwaves for heating, during a scanning session and to control the heating modes so as to achieve the equal heating time during a heating session. Thereby, the object within the cavity is uniformly heated.
