But one of the complaints about microwaves is that they are not – The heat is not distributed evenly because it's using radio waves.
And some food is not – the water molecules are not evenly dispersed inside of the product.
So some things like a hot pocket, a hot pocket because of the cheese and the grease inside of the pepperoni or the eggs or the sausage or whatever, that's going to get like lava hot, right? But the outside, which doesn't have a lot of water in it, it's sometimes still cold, sometimes half frozen.
The appliance uses a minimalist design with a flatbed interior instead of that turntable.
It uses a Genius Sensor 2.0, which means, hey, they must have had a 1.0, and they've made it even better.
And what it does apparently is it has some kind of sensor in there that checks out 64 different points inside your microwave.
And they can kind of point the energy to the places that need the heat, I'm guessing.
They are using inverter technology, which provides a steady, adjustable power instead of just these on-off bursts.
It used to come – in a box with foil on it, and you had to put it in the oven for like 40 minutes.
But it always tells you to stir, right? And if I get the one with the mashed potatoes after the first set of time because you have to put it in twice and stir in between, half of the potatoes are still frozen, which always surprises me.
