But they still don't make a microwave that will change back to the clock function if you stop heating something before the timer is done. A microwave could sit for years with 00:05 showing and not go back to the clock. MAKE THE DISPLAY RESET TO THE DAMN CLOCK IF THE MICROWAVE GOES WITHOUT BEING USED FOR 5 MINUTES. Ach, glad to get that off my chest, all this technology with no regard for basic utility.

Maybe it is because it requires some extra parts or circuits that would increase the price. These things are made with the bare minimum of parts. There is no intelligence in microwaves at all. It isn't hard to make, but maybe it is because of cost.

Good call cgod. What an seemingly obvious function, yet I've never seen it. You should put that together and sell it to Kenmore. -Not kidding.
Sometimes the most obvious of ideas are disregarded for years.
