Abstract: A cooking apparatus is provided. The cooking apparatus includes heating coils, an input apparatus receiving input of output levels for each of the heating coils, inverters providing driving power to each of the heating coils separately, and a processor controlling the inverters based on the inputted output levels. The processor is configured to predict the power consumption of each of the heating coils based on the inputted output levels, and based on the sum of the predicted power consumption being greater than a predetermined power value, determine a subject heating coil based on the predicted power consumption for each heating coil and history information on power adjustment of the heating coils, and control an inverter corresponding to the subject heating coil such that the subject heating coil operates at a smaller output level than a current output level.
