`
`Ask any American about what appliances are most readily used in their kitchen and you won't be surprised to hear the words microwave oven come
`out of every person's mouth. Since the 1970's the microwave oven has become a staple in every American's kitchen serving the purpose of easy,
`fast and efficient heating for whoever you might be. It's hard to believe that an appliance that was once considered a gimmick that would forever
`destroy the fine art of cooking is now used by over 90 percent of American households.
`
`Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, the inventor of the microwave oven would have never imagined what would come with his invention. Indeed, the
`microwave has dramatically changed from being a box with two simple control knobs, one for cooking times up to five minutes and the other for
`twentyfive minutes to the newly improved stainless steel popcorn popper and defroster machine. Still some things remain unchanged. Like in the
`1970's, the microwave oven still consists of a high voltage transformer, a cavity magnetron, a magnetron control circuit, a wave guide and a cooking
`chamber. It works by passing microwaves through the foods that is in need of heated. The food in question absorbs the microwave radiation through
`a process called dielectric heating. The microwaves create an induced field and the molecules in the food rotate and try to align themselves with the
`new electric field around them. The constant rotation creates heat as molecules constantly bump into each other, consequently making your food
`hot.
`
`Nowadays, Americans have many options when it comes to purchasing a microwave oven. Each microwave oven varies with accordance to size,
`style, and features. Additionally, people have the option of purchasing a microwave with a specific power delivery that suits their specific family. The
`various microwave powers range from 400 W to 1200 W.
