And also displays the time in {destination half a world away from Microwave's present coordinates in timespace}, with the option of teleporting the finished snack via quantum wormhole thingamabob. |
|
|
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? |
|
|
Also cumulative and instantaneous statistics displayed on a large screen with graphs, charts and visualisations. |

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? |
|
|
Just time controlled here so far, no temp sensors. |
|
|
Maybe us lowlifes just ain't heard about them yet. |
|
|
+ A warm croissant for an idea to help with my
short term memory loss. |

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