(Quote at end) What I would like would be a programmable refrigerator/oven/timer. Possibly the easiest implementation would be a refrigerator/ microwave oven. This would allow me to prepare dinner in the morning and come home to it already-cooked in the evening. I have used ovens with timers (both electric and microwave), but there is the danger of spoilage if the food is left all day unless it is frozen first. If so, it is a little difficult to predict how defrosted or spoiled it is. Also that kind of limits you to roasted meats, and I don't favor meats for general health reasons. --J.

> > What I would like would be a programmable refrigerator/oven/timer. > Possibly the easiest implementation would be a refrigerator/microwave i've always wanted a reverse microwave oven so i could refreeze all those things that say "DO NOT REFREEZE" on them, or to slightly cool down too-hot pizza. (for those microwave freaks out there: imagine being able to bypass the crucial "Let stand for five minutes" instruction!) -- cheers, mark hanner markh@rtech.ARPA ..ucbvax!mtxinu!rtech!markh "there is a motorcycle in new mexico." -r.brautigan

For those of us who can't watch a clock and stir-fry at the same time, a wok with a built-in, programable device that shouts, "ADD NEXT INGREDIENT, STUPID!"
