NATIONAL MICROWAVE OVEN DAY
One day in 1945, as American self-taught engineer Percy Spencer was working on an active radar set, he realized that the candy bar he had in his pocket was melting. The radar had melted his chocolate bar with microwaves and it was right then, on that day, that the specific heating effect of a high-power microwave beam was accidentally discovered.Popcorn was the first food that was deliberately cooked with Spencer’s microwave and an egg was the second. The egg however, exploded in the face of a fellow experimenter.
Raytheon filed an United States patent application for Spencer’s microwave cooking process on October 8, 1945.
Raytheon built the first commercially available microwave oven in 1947. It was called the “Radarange”
It is believed that 90% of homes in the United States have a microwave in them.
