Yes,Is anyone using talking Microwave oven? I also want to know her/his experience. Where is it available in the Indian market? Well, after talk with one female of the group, I come to know one important tip regarding cooking. Between every 7 or 10 minits, check the gas whether it is on or off. Hope it helps...
