REHEAT SENSOR REHEAT SENSOR WORKS Sharp’s Electronic Sensory Processor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (humidity) emit- ted from food as it heats. The Sensor adjusts heating times and variable power for various foods and quan- tities. It takes the guesswork out of microwave heating.
