1. A cooking apparatus comprising:
a cooking chamber in which food is cooked and being open in a first direction and comprising support arts formed on opposite sides of the cooking chamber;
a shelf configured to be inserted into the cooking chamber in the first direction and comprising a container in which food is placed and a holder configured to support the container; and
a magnetron configured to generate a high frequency to be supplied to the shelf,
wherein the shelf comprises a heat generating member to generate heat by the high frequency generated from the magnetron,
the container comprises a first container disposed on one side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a second container disposed on another side in the second direction, the first container having a first cooking surface on which food is placed in the first container in a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, and the second container having a second cooking surface on which food is placed in the second container in the third direction, and
the heat generating member comprises a first heat generating member disposed on the first container on an opposite side of the first cooking surface on which food is placed to provide heat to the first container, and a second heat generating member disposed on the second container on an opposite side of the second cooking surface on which food is placed to provide heat to the second container, wherein the first heat generating member is formed of a first material composition to provide heat of a first temperature when absorbing the high frequency, and the second heat generating member is formed of a second material composition to provide heat of a second temperature when absorbing the high frequency, and
wherein the heat generating member comprises a ferrite material, and a content of the ferrite material in the first heat generating member and a content of the ferrite material in the second heat generating member are different, and
wherein the holder is mountable on the support parts and the first container and the second container are provided to be detachable with respect to the holder.
