I want a microwave that has a database of every possible food type that tells it the optimal programming for everything, supported by sensors measuring weight, humidity, maybe even an infrared camera inside, if those can survive microwaves.
Until I have that: 100% until stuff starts to steam/bubble/boil, take it out, bite into it, regret not putting it in for longer, eat mostly cold leftovers.

You can see a technology connection a mile away
I just remembered that this video is where I got the idea from and came to edit my comment to link it! It should be possible to build something like that in 2025, no? Why is every microwave I see in stores the exact same microwave my parents bought 30 years ago but in black?
My microwave does all of the humidity sensing stuff and has an inverter. Setting it to 70% doesn’t mean 70% of the time it’s on at full power (ie PWM), it means it’s running continuously at 70% power. I haven’t watched that TC video in a while but I’m pretty sure that’s a PWM microwave, so I think mine has the edge. It was made in 2024 and cost $140.
It’s so absurd that Panasonic still has exclusive rights to that. It was never a novel idea and they’ve been profiteering and holding back humanity for nearly a full human lifetime at this point.
Did they license it to others? Mine isn’t Panasonic.
Surprisingly, I looked up inverter microwave reviews on RTINGS and they said it’s mostly marketing fluff aside from a few edge cases, such as trying to soften a tablespoon of butter.
They do license it out. Interesting take from rtings, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of them getting something wrong compared to my opinion/experience.
Yeah, gotta agree there. It does seem like the inverter works better but maybe it’s just because I’m now using the power settings much more often.
Black plastic doesn't yellow like white. Microwaves are pretty much a commoditized item. Unless they're trying to make it a "smart device" and sell you a subscription.

Interesting, I can see why it failed though. TCP's ideal situation is that you buy a microwaveable item with a TCP code on the box, pop it in your TCP enabled microwave, punch in the code and done. But those items will still need instructions for people without TCP microwaves, so those aren't really my problem anyway. I want to know how long I should microwave my leftover pasta (plastic container, 300g, from the fridge). TCP would have me... go to a website and look up the right code in a table? I could probably find the right settings for a regular microwave in much the same way and that way I might actually learn something useful instead of an opaque 4-digit code.
Ultimate convenience microwave - add a camera inside the microwave and use image recognition to identify the food and automatically cook it perfectly.
And this is how you end up with an AI subscription-based microwave that sells your data.
That would cost like $1500
Theres absolutely no reason an infared camera couldnt survive a microwave. All you would need is for the camera body to be outside, and to have a mesh blocking the sensor. You wouldnt be able to go through the door if the door is glass(not that ive ever seen a glass microwave door) because glass blocks infared, not sure about plastic. either way though, you could just cut a hole, remove the plastic, and then replace the mesh. Youd have to do some software work to ensure the camera is not picking up the heat from the mesh.
