The GEEK S microwave oven subverts the traditional operation of this type of appliance. Traditional microwave ovens require the user to select the time and power levels. However, lacking knowledge or experience many users end up over- or underheating the food. With the GEEK S, the user can select the food temperature s/he wants, and the oven does the rest. This feature prevents irritation at underheated food or liquids, but even more importantly prevents scalding due to overheating.
