Try heating something frozen in the microwave. The outside gets boiling hot while the inside is still frozen.

I saw a video with Alton Brown (Food TV celebrity chef person) hawking one of these from GE at Fry's the other day. Hardly a "world's first."]]>Feb 22nd 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/Feb 22nd 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/Feb 22nd 2007 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/Feb 22nd 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating]]>Feb 22nd 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/Feb 22nd 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/Feb 22nd 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/22/sanyo-announces-enegreen-microwave-ih-oven-hybrid/

With regards to the style, I like the retro look. Why does Sanyo have to put something super stylistic out for in-the-kitchen products that a common customer will never see? How about Hobart giant mixers and walk-in refrigerators? Have you ever seen a 'with the times' design for those items?

Additionally, although GE has the Trivection technology, apparently you can't run the functions of microwave and heating separately, whereas this unit has an independent microwave oven mode and IH cooking mode.

Lastly, after looking at the Sanyo website, the name of the product is not enegreen (Sanyo apparently also has a supermarket showcase system with that name), but "enegreen Hybrid Cooker".
