It's like having a friend in the kitchen........
Date of Review: Jan 9, 2000
It's so nice to have this appliance residing in my kitchen. Microwaves in general are so nice to have, but the Sharp Carousel is extra special.
It's all about the "Instant Sensor" feature which is a blessing. Never again have I burned a bag of popcorn or overbaked a potato since I bought this Microwave. Ya see, the Sharp comes with an Instant Sensor which in fact detects the moisture and humidity released from the food. This enables it to adjust the cooking time and power level for your selected food.
I just want to shake the hand of the person who invented this feature, and it's so marketable too. If you think about it, the most common problem with cooking foods with no preset cooking time is the BURN factor.
Now here is a microwave that has an answer for that problem, and all in the push of a button.
The Instant Sensor has a total of 6 buttons which are preset for:
**Popcorn
**Baked Potato
**Reheat
**Fresh Vegetables
**Frozen Entrees
**Frozen Vegetables
And it doesn't stop there!!
I also love using the "Instant Action" feature. This feature consists of 6 preset buttons for the following:
**Ground Meat
**Fish/Seafood
**Chicken Breast
**Fresh Roll/Muffin
**Rice
**Frozen Roll/Muffin
The microwave already has a preset time and cooking heat for the above mentioned items and all you have to do is push the button until your serving size is selected.
My favorite feature is the Ground Meat button. To use this feature for ground meat, all you have to to is look on the package to see how many pounds you have then punch the Ground Meat button until you reach that weight. Much better than pan cooking if you're in a rush.
What can I say, it's my kitchen buddy. I know that when I need something nuked in my microwave, it'll always turn out just perfect.
