AH! Good question. They used to do that a while back, but there was an incident where a very intoxicated young lady decided to use the temperature probe to take her own temperature, while the microwave was reheating some left over lasagna... she promptly passed out with the probe still lodged within her rectum. The microwave, not knowing any better of the unusual circumstances outside its small field of influence, kept trying, to no avail to warm up the recalcitrant bit of substenance. The lasagna caught fire after 1.5 hours, and the young lady perished from the fumes...
It's all documented of course, but the source declined to have her name published because she was not authorized to speak to the media.
Good luck and good day to you.

It could be done by developing a smart microwave oven.One that analyzes the foods
weight,density and temperature that is wanted or by reading the bar code and using a product database.The overall temperature would be averaged.
This could bring a new revolution in microwave ovens.

You guys are funny about the temperature probe.
Anyways, just integrate an infared camera into the microwave and there you have it, the microwave can monitor the temperature of the food and stops cooking when it reaches the specified temperature.

I have an old microwave with a temperature probe. So, yes it can be done. It was first done at least 15 years ago.
