First Claim
1. A composite cooking machine for use in a cooking area, comprising:
- component cooking machines which use a common power source of the cooking area;
a power supply unit which individually supplies power to the component cooking machines;
an input unit which receives cooking information; and
a control unit which controls the power supply unit to operate only one of the component cooking machines in response to the cooking information input through the input unit.

Abstract
A composite cooking machine includes a plurality of switches which are connected in series with a plurality of component cooking machines, between a circuit breaker in a home and the component cooking machines, respectively, to selectively supply power to the component cooking machines. A control unit of the composite cooking machine controls the switches so as to supply the power to only one of the component cooking machines, without responding to a key signal for another one of the component cooking machines, where a cooking operation performed by the one component cooking machine has not been completed. Therefore, the composite cooking machine does not allow simultaneous operations of the component cooking machines, and prevents unnecessary operations of the circuit breaker. Accordingly, the reliability of the composite cooking machine is improved.
