Abstract

This is an improvement to a microwave, convection, or any other oven. The oven would be equipped with a television screen in or on the door. The television screen could be wired to an antenna, cable television, satellite television or a pre-recording device (such as but not limited to a DVD player or VCR). The television screen could also be hooked to a closed circuit television to view the inside of the oven, or other rooms or areas. There is a clear advantage in having the television in an existing appliance because it will not take up any additional counter space or under cabinet space.

Claims

1. A microwave, convection or any other oven equipped with a television screen and related equipment in or on the door in order to view broadcast television stations (cable or regular) or any pre-recorded programming or closed circuit television to the occupants of the room.
