Oh, for crying out loud.  You just have to press a couple of buttons to microwave.  Is that too difficult for people?

Daewoo’s Voice Recognition Microwave Oven:

At first glance, this may seem like a regular microwave, but it’s anything but normal. This voice-activated microwave oven stores up to 40 voice commands and will respond to anyone who talks to it. Tell it what you want to cook, and the oven will automatically start with the correct time and the temperature for your selection. The oven is nearly 95 percent accurate! Having this new friend in the kitchen to talk to doesn’t cost a fortune.
