based on the first strength of the first signal being smaller than the threshold value for identifying whether the touch button was touched, set a value smaller than the first strength of the first signal as the reduced threshold value.

6. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a signal corresponding to a touch input for the touch button from the input panel in a normal mode, and

based on a strength of the signal received in the normal mode being greater than or equal to the threshold value, perform an operation corresponding to the touch button, wherein the operation corresponding to the touch button is not performed when the strength of the received signal is smaller than the threshold value.

7. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

based on an amount of change of the first strength of the first signal after entering the calibration mode falling within a threshold range for a predetermined time period, finish the calibration mode.

8. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

based on a plurality of touch inputs for the touch button being sequentially received, receive signals corresponding to the plurality of received touch inputs from the input panel, and

adjust the threshold value based on at least one of a maximum value, a minimum value among the plurality of received signals or an average value of the plurality of signals.

9. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a display,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the display to display the threshold value and the first strength of the first signal.

10. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

light emitting diodes corresponding to each of the plurality of touch buttons,

wherein the touch button is a first touch button, and the processor is configured to:

turn on a first light emitting diode corresponding to the touch button in the calibration mode, and

based on calibration for the touch button being finished, turn off the first light emitting diode and turn on a second light emitting diode corresponding to a second touch button among the plurality of touch buttons.

11. The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heating part,

wherein the input panel is located in an area of an upper plate panel of the cooking apparatus, and

the heating part is located in another area of the upper plate panel.

12. A controlling method of a cooking apparatus including an input panel having a plurality of touch buttons, the method comprising:

entering a calibration mode according to a predetermined event;

receiving a first signal corresponding to a test input for a touch button among the plurality of touch buttons from the input panel in the calibration mode;

based on a first strength of the received first signal being smaller than threshold value for identifying whether the touch button was touched, reducing the threshold value by a predetermined ratio;

identifying whether a second strength of a second signal received from the input panel after the threshold value is reduced is greater than or equal to the reduced threshold value; and

based on the second strength of the second signal after the threshold value is reduced being smaller than the reduced threshold value, additionally reducing the reduced threshold value by the predetermined ratio.

13. The controlling method of a cooking apparatus of claim 12 ,

wherein the predetermined event comprises:

an event wherein at least some buttons among the plurality of touch buttons are sequentially push-manipulated or an event wherein the at least some buttons are simultaneously push-manipulated.
