[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

[Pamela Dominguez]

I know that when I get my bar code reader to read the TV. dinners, one of 
the things it says is not to put them in a toaster oven.  It says microwave 
oven or regular oven.  Pam.

Some say that a lower-powered oven sometimes actually does a better job
cooking but I usually just go with whatever I find and am currently looking
for one. The dial is a thought as with my toaster oven, there are a lot of
things I do with that but warming up coffee and making popcorn are a couple
of things I would like from a microwave and some frozen lunch items take
much longer in the toaster oven than the microwave, although honestly the
taste is probably better.

You must be referring to the Avanti microwave with mechanical controls,
which, like the Hamilton Beach Cook Magic talking microwave that WalMart and

ILA used to sell, is no longer available.

Hello:

No, they discontinued that a few years ago.  I would have loved to get the
talking one but, my budget couldn't afford almost $400.  I didn't want to
struggle trying to put Braille labels on a flat screen.  I've also learned
from past experience that the labels don't stay on very well, especially
when you try to wipe off the front with a damp cloth.   In desperation I did
a web search for microwaves with dials and came up with one site.  I ended
up getting one with dials from www.compactappliances.com.  It has two dials.
The top goes from low to high turning clockwise and the bottom is the timer
with the dial turning clockwise.  I used a talking timer until I got used to
how far to turn the knob to the desired time.  You may not want it though
because it is only 700 watts.  I just leave things a bit longer than you
would in a more high powered oven.

hi
  There is a Panasonic which has five preset buttons with a touch pad.  The
five buttons can do many things although they don't talk.
