To provide a high voltage generator having a more uniform effect imparted by discharge on a load disposed between electrodes, and a cooking device.SOLUTION: A high voltage generator 1 comprises a first electrode 3, a second electrode 4 disposed at a location opposite to the first electrode, a power source 2 which applies voltage to the first electrode, and uniformization means which brings the distance between a load 100 disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and the first electrode close to uniform in the surface direction of the load. A cooking device comprises the high voltage generator and a heating unit which heats a container accommodating a food product.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】電極間に配置される負荷に対して放電によって与えられる作用を、より均一に近づける高電圧発生装置及び調理器の提供。【解決手段】第１電極３と、第１電極と対向する位置に設けられた第２電極４と、第１電極に電圧を印加する電源２と、第１電極と第２電極との間に配置される負荷１００と第１電極との間の距離を、負荷の表面方向において均一に近づける均一化手段とを備えた、高電圧発生装置１。又、該高電圧発生装置と食品を収容する容器を加熱する加熱装置とを備えた調理器。【選択図】図１
