A:Answer Because the sensor cooking, gets it exactly right, I find that I love that feature, no guesswork. The microwave truly does sense what you are cooking, and knows how long to cook the food at the right time.
The dinner plate option is one I use quite often, I want my food HOT, and this feature gives me exactly that hot food. Another one is the veggies Sensor, which the microwave gets right all the time, I love using the veggie's feature.
Popcorn you ask, this microwave gave me fluffy maybe 5 kernel's in the whole bag of popcorn which I find remarkable. My previous microwave gave me tons of kernel's which I hated. You will love the Sensor Cooking, why not give it a try.
