apparently a former NASA engineer is trying to raise awareness for a microwave with an infrared camera built in that creates a heat map of your food while it's being nuked

pretty cool if you ask me

You can select a desired temperature for you food to be and it automatically brings it to that temperature instead of you punching in a time, taking a bite, and either letting it cool or putting it back in.

It really is better.

It'd definitely make it easier to get the right setting to Nuke some food you aren't quite sure on how long to put it in for.

honestly, i'm pretty surprised at the lack of microwave innovation over the years. or maybe i'm just ignorant to the world of microwave tech.

either way, this is pretty neat.

Aside from basic functionality of the microwave oven, it really has come quite far.

We can do things with microwaves now that we couldn't even imagine in the sixties. However, that doesn't really help the end consumer who just wants well cooked food.

But you'd know if your food is actually properly heated up or not, how is that not needed?

If you cook your food long enough and feel if it's hot, you'll know if it's cooked properly. It's very simple.

I guess it's better, but it's pretty unnecessary. Cooking food is something we've been good at for thousands of years. Not to mention they have microwave instructions on most food anyway.

They usually only have instructions for 850-1000w Microwaves, and there are other power settings too. Kinda hard to adjust for the time, unless there's some formula to calculate the time adjustment needed to compensate for the Power difference.

I mean, if that's gonna be the way you approach it, why not just cook everything on an open fire?
Why do we need cars, we have feet?

Eventually you just have to upgrade in the vain of being as convenient as physically possible.

Microwave ovens won't hurt you unless you buy a cheap one with a poor seal.

There is no "microwave particle" that gets stuck in your food.
It's a wave that passes through an object, thereby rattling the atomic particles that make up your food, which in turn increases the temperature due to a higher energy level pushing it closer to a state change.

It goes away as soon as you turn the microwave emitter off.

Actually, it's exactly like x-raying your food, just with a different electromagnetic wave.

Sandtrap · June 22, 2015, 02:13:51 AM

To the bitch ass niggas arguing about whether or not microwaves are harmless or no. You're both wrong. Every piece of electronic equipment we've ever engineered has an acceptable level of harm that can be done to a human being.

It's a really handy technical loophole for people trying to sell their shit. Microwaves, while not being directly harmful unless you stick a body part in them, are still harmful.

But due to this wee little loophole, and because the damage done is slight enough to not be noticeable up front, it's fine and dandy.

Just don't start asking questions about cumulative exposure and you'll all be fine.

Also, cell phones are literally satan's cancer causers. They actually technically break the "acceptable level of harm" rule.
