My 8-10 year old Sharp microwave oven has died from a shorted HV
capacitor. I'll probably fix it, if the part is still available.

If not, I'd like my next oven to "listen" to popcorn, and shut off
after the popping rate slows to a threshold level. My current oven's
popcorn mode always comes up about 40 seconds short.

Are there any current models with "ears"?

================================


You can't stand still in the kitchen for 3 minutes and listen with your
own ears???

I was going to say the same thing. Not to put down the OP, but how lazy
have we become? What's next? A remote that will come to you when you call
it???

Hey.....wait a minute...........

;-]


Here's something I want: A way to start my oven using my cell phone, so I
can put dinner into a preheated oven the moment I walk in the door.


I think you can get such a thing, but I forgot where.
