INDUCTION HEATING COOKER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an induction heating cooker capable of effectively using total electric power by performing an optimal output limit and performing the optimal output limit even when an automatic cooking menu is carried out. SOLUTION: The induction heating cooker has one or more of induction heating device including heating coils 9 and 10, inverter circuits 14 and 15, and cooking control means 19 and 20, one or more of heater heating device including heaters 11-13, heater drive circuits 16-18, and cooking control means 21 and 22, and a power limit means 26 for limiting the total electric power under a designated value. The cooking control means 19-22 have a plurality of control methods in which respective maximum electric power is different, and the power limit means 26 limits power by selecting the cooking control means 19-22 in response to use conditions. Thus, the cooking control means 19-22 is selected in response to the use conditions, the total electric power can be effectively used by performing the optimal output limit, and the optimal output limit can be carried out even when the automatic cooking menu is carried out.
