The microwave can also be programmed to stop cooking when a specific heat threshold is met, something of a fail-safe feature. Finally, the LCD screen can be used for browsing the Web to watch cooking videos on YouTube or read recipes.<\/p>\n<p>Rober isn&#8217;t pursuing a crowd-funded Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign at this time. Instead, he has investors ready to start manufacturing his prototype, assuming there&#8217;s enough interest in the product.
