Temperature detecting unit employed in a microwave oven

摘要

A temperature detecting unit extended, through a cable, from an inside wall of the microwave oven has a probe formed at end portion thereof for inserting the probe into an object such as food items to be heated for detecting the temperature of the object during the heating, so as to produce a signal indicative of the temperature of the object. The cable of the temperature detecting unit is formed by comparatively thin wires having sufficient flexibility and durability so as to facilitate the manipulation of the unit during inserting thereof into the object.
