An induction heating device includes a top plate arranged to have an object placed thereon, a heating coil provided under below the top plate for heating the object, a sensor provided under the top plate for detecting a temperature of the object, a judging unit for judging whether or not the object is positioned directly above the sensor, a controller operable to allow the heating coil to heat the object in response to the temperature detected by the sensor detecting, and a position indicator provided at the top plate for indicating a position of the sensor. The position indicator includes a detectable area of the sensor, and is larger than the detectable area. This induction heating device securely positions the object directly above the sensor and detects a temperature of the object accurately, hence heating the object accurately at a predetermined temperature.
