PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric heating device and a method having an operation restart function. An electric heating device (20) having a plurality of electrode bodies (23) and a plurality of spacer tubes (24), the inner walls of which form a heating flow path for conducting electric heating while flowing and transporting a food material, and a heating flow. An inlet temperature sensor 31 provided near the inlet of the passage, an electrode temperature sensor 32 provided at the electrode body, an outlet temperature sensor 33 provided near the outlet of the heating flow passage, and an output of the electric heating device are controlled. And a control device 30 for performing a first heating in which the control device performs heating at a constant output until the first condition is satisfied when the operation is restarted, and a signal from the outlet sensor after the first condition is satisfied. A continuous electric heating device that switches to automatic control that controls the output based on.
