The invention discloses a control method for food cooking, comprising the following steps: artificially selecting a first key and utilizing a controller to accumulatively calculating heating time; keeping a heating temperature not higher than a first preset high temperature with a first preset time slice; within a second preset time slice after the first preset time slice, if the detection temperature is higher than but not consistently lower than a second set temperature, continuously maintaining the heating temperature to be not higher than the first preset temperature; and within a third time slice after the second preset time slice, if the detection temperature is not continuously lower than the second set temperature within a continuous time slice, automatically shutting down after the third preset time slice. The control method not only can conveniently cook foods such as Mexican food, Italian food, underdo soup and the like, heating apparatuses can directly do cooking work through special keys, and various cooking works can be done continuously and separately.
