Abstract: Disclosed is a cooking apparatus for providing a cooking vessel suitable for a simmer cooking function. A cooking apparatus of the present invention includes a cooking room; a cooking vessel accommodated in the cooking room, and including a main body, and a heating element attached on a bottom of the main body and configured to be heated by microwaves to heat the main body; a microwave heater configured to radiate microwaves to the cooking vessel; an input device configured to receive a simmer cooking command; and a controller configured to repeatedly perform a process of turning on the microwave heater for a first time period, when the simmer cooking command is received through the input device, and turning off the microwave heater for a second time period when the first time period elapses, for a cooking time period, and configured to perform a keeping-warm process when a door does not open in a third time period after the cooking time period elapses.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a cooking chamber configured to provide a space in which food is cooked; a tray located at a bottom surface of the cooking chamber, and connected to a drive member generating rotational force; and an agitating cooking assembly supported by the tray and rotatable with the tray. The agitating cooking assembly, having an improved structure configured to cook food while simultaneously agitating the food, includes: a cooking container configured to store food therein; an agitating member configured to agitate the food while simultaneously relatively rotating in the cooking container with respect to the cooking container; and a stopper located at a rotation path of the agitating member in a manner that the agitating member relatively rotates with respect to the cooking container.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a cooking apparatus and a controlling method thereof. The cooking apparatus according to one aspect of the present embodiment includes an input part configured to receive a plate warming mode command; a microwave heating part configured to radiate microwave to at least one plate disposed in a cooking chamber provided inside the cooking apparatus; and a control part configured to control at least one of an operation time of the microwave heating part and an intensity of the microwave radiated from the microwave heating part when the plate warming mode command is input.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus comprises a cooking chamber formed with a cooking space; a heat source installed inside the cooking chamber, and emitting a heat; a reflector configured to reflect the heat emitted from the heat source to the cooking space; and a fan configured to operate or stop operating while heat is being emitted from the heat source, and to introduce air into the cooking chamber during the operation.
