Microwaves can vary greatly in how fast
they heat, both across models and over
time. This means that microwaving
instructions for food
involve heating in microwaves for very
approximate lengths of time. I propose
that microwaves be set in kilojoules
instead of seconds. Then, the setting
you
want to use for a given food item would
always be the same. Periodically the
microwave could calibrate itself to make
sure that it puts out however many joules
it is set for.

This has nothing to do with your idea (for that I apologise) but my microwave gave me an electric shock today!! |

Your idea just reminded me... :( |

Pa've - Maybe there is a
misunderstanding about what joules
are. If the magnetron is on 50% of the
time, joules are only being added 50%
of the time, so they are being added
50% as fast - no matter what the cycling
rate is. |
