History of National Microwave Oven Day
The history, origin, and the founder of the National Microwave Oven Day. However, the microwave oven has a long tradition. It is a kitchen appliance that is used to heat and cook food. It works by exposing the foods to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. Dr. Percy Spencer was credited with the invention of the modern microwave oven. Dr. Spencer, while working with an active radar in the year 1945 noticed that a candy bar in his pocket was melting. He found that the high-powered microwave beams had created a heating effect that is ideal for cooking. The popcorn was the first thing he cooked, and an egg was the next.
He had then applied for the patent on October 8, 1945. The first microwave oven was named the “Radarange,” and was first sold in the year 1946. It was over six feet tall and almost weighed higher than 700 pounds. Microwave ovens are conventionally used for reheating previously cooked foods. It is even used for cooking in the kitchen with a variety of other foods. Most often these microwave ovens are used for rapid heating of otherwise slowly prepared cooking items, like hot butter, fats, and chocolate.
