Microwave Dual Display Timer

A microwave that not only tells you how long you have left, but how long you actually set it for the first place.

We've all done it.... {stir food} did I put it on for 2 or 4 minutes before?

       It also needs to show the elapsed time from the end of the cook cycle to the present time. How long ago did I leave that pizza in there?

       Thank you for the faraway cheesy nachos, [Sgt]. Please expect your preternatural wormhole bubble and squeak in due course.

       [pert], insert "That's nacho cheese, man!" joke here.   

       'Bubble and squeak' eh? Merci and many miigweches. We prefer ours with moose meat and marmalade, potatoes optional. And a nice fizzy fermented drink. Dinner's at 1 PM. Cigars in the quintessential Canadian outdoor lounge (garage) afterward.   

       For remote potluck attendance, we'll have to add a Zoom/FazeTyme feature to the microwave.

       I've been wondering why microwaves haven't had the "Smart" treatment yet. They're a time warp item, all research and development on microwaves stopped in around 1992. We recently replaced a 90's microwave at work, the new one is EXACTLY the same. Do they even make them anymore? Or were they all made on one batch and stored in a warehouse the size of Macau.

       They don't have this already? That's an outrage. [+]

       I honestly was going to post an automatic temperature sensor for microwave ovens based on this posting... but it's a thing already.   

       Who knew? Fess up. I didn't.   

       Yes, we have an auto temperature sensor.   

       Makes me curious as to why they haven't gone touch-screen. Too much grease in the kitchen to be a thing perhaps?
RayfordSteele, Jul 16 2022
  

       Just time controlled here so far, no temp sensors.   

       Maybe us lowlifes just ain't heard about them yet.

       [bs0] Like you said it's possible for a microwave to be way smarter but it seems like they developed the temperature sensor and called it a day, permanently. Since then all they add are useless features. I want a microwave I can tell what I'm putting in and it will measure the thickness, weight (less probable tare weight), and the temperature going in. It should then program a cook time with power levels and either beep for stirring when needed or stir the food itself. I should be able to say "this is green beans" and push the "reheat" button and get out perfectly heated green beans.

       Ooh, weight-sensitive would be ludicrously easy, and doesn't seem to be baked.   

       Edit. Doh. Baked.   

       Maybe microwaves are just a commodity now and people simply buy on price.
