Microwave Moisture Control

 No more dry chicken

Microwaves dry out food. I flick water on the stuff I microwave, but it's imprecise: if I overcompensate the food comes out mushy.

If a microwave had a moisture sensor, it could calculate how much water your food was losing from evaporation. It could then add that water back in through a spray nozzle.

The microwave would draw water from a tiny stainless steel bottle, not a pipe.

       [+] except for the "steel bottle" bit... why not plastic ?

       Misting the air, not spraying the product, right? I mean, dribbling some water on dry food about to be microwaved is fine. But if it is going to be a function of the microwave, misting is the way to go.

       Yeah... steel is usually not recommended for use in a microwave. This kinda reminds me of Back to the Future. "You sure can hydrate a pizza!"
