Microwaves ovens are dumb - 27/03/2003 04:45
if anyone can produce evidence otherwise, I'll stand humbly corrected.
Microwave smarts do not appear to have changed in the last ten years
Here's a list of things I want on a microwave oven
Ok, maybe the last one is a feature for next year but are there any other features to add?

Here's a list of things I want on a microwave oven
- permanent clock. One of the main things a microwave has become is a chronograph. Why not keep the clock on all the time?
- Separate time remaining/countdown display. This should be the same or smaller type of display as the clock with high visibility VFD numerals.
- An LCD for menu control functions
- a Jog wheel for easy adjustment and selection of features
- a funtion to add time to the current cooking time
- a function to adjust the power/temperature without stopping and resetting the cooking process.
- a current temperature display
- a touch screen would be great too
- comm or ethernet port for remote interrogation / notification when my coffee/danish has re-heated while i'm working in my study.
- hijackable kernel or at least upgradeable OS
- a robotic maid to bring the coffee to me
