Abstract
- THIS WEEK IN HISTORY The first microwave oven goes on saleThe microwave oven was invented by US engineer Percy LeBaron Spencer, who found that microwaves used in military radars (a system for detecting distant objects) could also heat food. At first, the ovens were large and designed for restaurant kitchens but a home version went on sale 69 years ago and cost more than £1,000 (about £22,000 in today's money). The ovens became popular in the 1970s, and today most UK homes have one.An early home microwave oven. [Extracted from the article]
