A microwave oven for use by the elderly consists of a generally cuboidal housing 1 with the front upper corner rounded off. The door 2 slides in tracks 25 up and over into the top of the housing 1. A shelf 9 extends in front of the housing 1, to assist in removing food from the oven. An infrared temperature sensor 100 detects the food temperature, and the magnetron 5 is switched off if overheating occurs. The temperature sensor 100 is used to measure the initial food temperature, which is used to calculate a cooking time together with inputted food type, weight and cooking mode, so that it is not necessary to input a cooking time. <IMAGE> |
