I have a Kenmore Sensor micro/convect oven and I have to say it does a jamb up job on popcorn, potatoes and combi-baked "<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:
EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">rotisserie</span>" chicken. Very pleased with the cooking success. Other than those functions, I generally just hit the "add 1 minute" button or whatever it's called on whatever oven I'm using.<br>

Alright, You need to elaborate on this one...<br>
<br>
Where are the specially marked microwave meals?<br>
What does the mark look like?<br>
What is the model number of one microwave that does this?<br>
<br>
The only automatic setting I have seen are ones that detect<br>
temperature and humidity to adjust the time automatically.<br>
<br>
I would be very interested in a microwave that can read the package.<br>
