Superheated steam generator

A superheated steam generator comprising:

• a steam generating part that generates steam from water using an induction heating method or an electric heating method;
• a superheated steam generating part that is supplied with the steam generated by the steam generating part, and generates superheated steam from the steam using the induction heating method or the electric heating method;
• and
• a switching mechanism that is provided between the steam generating part and the superheated steam generating part, and switches supply of the steam to the superheated steam generating part or a stop of the supply, wherein
• the switching mechanism switches the supply of the steam or the stop of the supply, and thereby switching is performed between a waiting state that is a state where the steam generating part generates the steam and a state where the supply of the steam is stopped, and a supply state where the steam is supplied to the superheated steam generating part.
