This idea is to combine a hospital MRI machine, a computer, and a microwave oven for perfect cooking each time.
Here's how it works. The food is put in the microwave oven, and then it is scanned to determine its shape and what it is made of including moisture content.
Since areas of food that
contain more water cook faster (see any of a number of articles explaining microwave cooking), the MRI scan could create a 3D model in the computer that would then control the microwave.
Directional microwave signals could be sent to the dryer parts of the food with greater intensity to assure even cooking.
A library of food component profiles would exist in the computer to be used to determine when something is "cooked". (or "baked" as the case may be).

...which would then assuage any potential guilt about eating the animal in the first place. "Poor thing was doomed, you can see it right here on the MRI." |

I can't believe this one got fishboned... I guess I should have looked at the MRI when I put it in to be baked... I might have noticed the bones. |

If you had thought to look in product:microwave you would have found a very similar idea by me. If you click on it you will find a link at the bottom to an idea by [arora] which is in food:temperature. |

Yeah, but an MRI can determine density, not just temp. |

Seems a bit impossible, considering the wavelength of microwave radiation. Also I'm sure there are some function-prohibitive cross-technologies at work here. |

I think you could determine density using the spectroscopy resluts, a table of densities and a powerful enough computer, although I'm not entirely sure. |
