Not a conventional oven, but many years ago my parents had a Sharp

I wonder how that worked or was it a gimmick that didn't work that well.
Small wires would vapourise in a microwave.

A similar temperature probe thing was fitted on a Belling (made by Brother)
microwave in the early 80's Connection was by something very closely resembling
a 1/4" mono audio jack and socket that penetrated the cavity wall. The
turntable having the capability to be switched off. The oven (touch wood) is
still going strong at maybe 35 years old and in fairly regular use in the
workshop.

They really built them like brick ****houses in those days.
