When microwave ovens first came out they were very heavy and cost as much as a stove.

my parents bought one when I was 12, I made a submarine sandwich & wrapped it in aluminum foil! -quite the fireworks show!

Saw a documentary that told of this event. The engineers were working on radars, so they named it a radar range. The first one was the size of a refrigerator and could cook a 20 lb. turkey in minutes. It was in the home of the CEO until very recently.

Easy Peasy.l, the first accidental food to be microwaved was chocolate bar. when the scientist noted his chocolate bar in his pocket was very soft after standing close to the magnetron in a radar system

Daybonn, I read about this from a children’ comprehension test. It said they were very very very expensive. Improvements have made it cheaper.

great for reheating things like coffee or leftovers or soup. I don't think I would cook much from scratch.

I was told... a microwave communications engineer noticed his chocolate, in his pocket, had melted after working on an antenna and then started to put food in front of microwaves to see what happened.
