What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?

Cost-benefit is not there. You can buy fancy ones that do some such things, but they are expensive.

Do you have any models in particular you are thinking of? I was in the market a few years ago when I thought of this, but couldn't find anything. So far I've found one's with weight, and ambient temp sensors, and a heating element and fan combination for roasting and convection, but nothing like what I've described.

Nah, sry. I just heard/read about them. One thing is using an inverter to control power instead of on/off timing. Other is using a bunch of sensors, that i remember as an idea many years ago.

Seems to have both (i just googled "fancy microwave" and it was the first result :)).

For my needs just a timer dial is enough.

No worries! Yeah, the inverter control is definitely a step in the right direction, though!

| For my needs, just a timer dial is enough. Most of the time it ain't that deep, so time + power level really is enough. It's just I think the microwave could be a much more versatile cooking appliance!
