Does sensor cooking work well with chicken breasts or pork chops?

Haven't tried that. We do use sensor for baked potatoes & sweet potatoes,and it does a great job.

I am usually cooking in a water bath, with food in a vacuum bag...I just lay the sensor in the water, onto of the submerged food.

Yes . It works great for items that a meant to be fried but cooks with any need for oil and taste good.. I try this with French fries and taste great without the oil.. Works great on chicken, Pork chops, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders.

It will cook anything you put in it, but a couple of problems: 1) It does a poor job of getting to and maintaining fry temperature; mine couldn't get past 340, and quickly dropped lower when food was added. 2) It's a lot smaller than the advert pics imply; those must be pigmy chickens they show. Mine wouldn't hold more than 4 drumsticks (chicken). I returned mine, and now I use a dutch oven. It isn't automatic, but it cooks.

If you dip it in buttermilk and then the breadcrumbs or whatever, yes it will. As long as it's not dripping. If its dripping, the fan may blow all the liquid off the meat. The basket is not that big, room for about 3 legs or two breasts. The cooking is done by super-heated, recirculating air. That's why if you are doing fish sticks or chicken tenders, you need to spray a little cooking spray on the items so they have a little moisture and are not completely dried out. Aso, I believe they just came out with a larger capacity model. You might check that so you can make more fried chicken pieces at one time.

Molly,This microwave has a lot of sensor features that seem to work just great. I mainly use it to reheat or cook vegetables, potatoes, and thaw meat. The power is good and high. Externally, it seems to be sturdy, tight, and well constructed with a nice smooth finish. I would buy another one or suggest this model to my family members and friends.

Yes...it's awesome for everything but broiling and grilling (too hot of a direct heat). If you roast veggies tossed in oil or bake chicken, or any other thing where oil is involved, they are much harder to clean and they darken over time, but it has not affected performance for me. I have had mine for about 4 years. Just use Dawn or some other soap that really cuts grease and a scrub sponge designed for nonstick cookware along with some elbow grease and they will clean up, but they do darken with such use. It is still a snap to clean compared to a roasting pan with its burnt-on gunk! Do not hesitate. I use mine for roasting four times as often as I bake with them...maybe more.

This machine will do lamb and chicken and pork roast and beef roast and turkey breast and anything else in between!!!!!This machine is an amazing thing!! Only important thing to remember is to figure out how many minutes per pound and then you can "set it and forget it!!!" Good luck and enjoy!!

I cooked raw chicken thighs just today and they turned out GREAT. I saw a reviewer's photos of his chicken wings and decided to try, and it worked fine.

I haven't done a chicken like that but I have slow roasted pork for mexican style meat and it is certainly much more controllable than my old crock pot (it had 2 settings - high and higher even on the low setting).It is a very gentle heat.

I am sorry but all I have cooked so far is chicken which turned out amazing - so juicy. It cooks faster than stated - good luck and let us know after you tried cooking the Gyro Cone.

of course it cooks! The temperature is 200 F, and for example, meat safe cooking temp is 160-175 F. So 200 is plenty. I cut raw chicken breast, laid on the bottom with some raw veggies on top and in 2 hrs all was cooked just perfectly. I am sure some stuff will need more time but this oven does surely cook. And I think at this temperature, it probably destroys minimum amount of nutrients.

Hi, Emil: I would use the basket attachment to secure the pork chops after you've seasoned them with your favorite seasoning. I'd choose a thicker chop rather than a thin cut, because the Cuisinart takes less time to cook than other rotisseries I have used in the past and you want to avoid a dried out chop. I make a whole 7.5 lb chicken in my Cuisinart and it's usually done in about 1 hour and 30 minutes on 400 degrees. You'd need MUCH less time for a pork chop or two and probably a lower cooking temperature. You'll have to experiment once or twice to get the doneness that you prefer. Good luck!

You can but wouldn't recommend doing so, the chicken that we have used it on turns out very dry, and soaks up a lot of oil, not sure about pork chops.

By the way, the cook time guide provided is dead on for chicken and turkey. I haven't used it for any other type of meat yet. It works especially well with brined whole chicken.

There are instructions for temperatures to use for various types of food. I love it for pancakes, bacon, fried chicken and so many dishes.

Certainly- The platform (R Pi, Arduino, chipKIT, etc.) isn't a central factor. The important points are: type of sensor (digital vs. analog, though most sensors are analog), operating parameters (temperature, environment, etc.), power requirements (if an active sensor vs. a passive), and dev board inputs (analog, analog with PWM, digital).
