//Ever sit around the microwave while you wait for your food to cook?// |
|
| |
No. I put the food in the microwave, set the timer, hit start and wander off. Some time later I wonder why something is beeping once every minute and go and check on my now cold again microwave victim. I set time, hit start and wander off again. Rinse, lather, repeat. |
|

[Brau] that list misses off some of the many fine examples of short composition recorded on Lawnmower Deth's seminal "Mower Liberation Front" album - I believe the track "Fuck Off" lasts a mere 6 seconds, which ought to be long enough to warm a small biscuit. |
|

Neat idea, but too similar to the toaster equivalent suggested a few years ago for my tastes (see link). |
|
| |
I think this might become irritating after a
while. Now that small flatscreens are quite
cheap, I think I'd prefer a microwave that
played an appropriately-timed piece of
pornographic video. |

this would work for a microwave with a dial type timer, but not so well for button type microwave (e.g. I'd never type in 2:20; I usually always set it to 5 minutes and pull it out early if necessary). |
|
| |
What is needed is a microwave that can read a (microwave-proof) RFID tag (with cooking time data)embedded in every product. |
|
| |
If this became widespread, at some point in the future going to the opera will carry connotations of defrosting large hunks of meat. |

"It's not over until the fat lady is safe to roast." |
|
| |
I say hook the thing up to YouTube and have a random clip play for your enjoyment. |
|
| |
[xaviergisx] I can't say I understand either the non-use of the convenient timer on a microwave, or the desire to put RFID tags in your food. |
|
| |
[ht], I mainly cook fresh food in the microwave and dislike underestimating cooking time (lest it starts beeping at me and I have to reset the thing). |
|
| |
The RFID tag idea was intended for the *packaging* of microwave meals. It was kind of a technological overkill solution to the problem that the user interface of a microwave is, unlike the name suggests, not friendly to the user. |
|
| |
I think that the standard microwave interface (forgetting about automatic cooking feature bloat) is a triumph of user friendliness. |
|
| |
Setting the clock after a power outage is a pleasure. |
|
| |
[Texticle], is that sarcasm? |
|
| |
In my opinion, the microwave user interface has been taking giant leaps backwards in usability since circa 1980. |
|
| |
classic mircowave: A dial for time and a dial for power - simple. |
|
| |
New microwave: every button has more than one function. Am I the only one who gets confused? |
|
| |
No sarcasm here, if you're still interested. |
