In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the history of the microwave oven and how it has evolved into the convenient and efficient cooking tool we know today.

The Origins of Microwave Technology

The concept of using microwaves for cooking dates back to the early 20th century when scientists discovered that microwaves could heat up food by exciting water molecules within it. However, it wasn’t until after World War II that this technology was adapted for home use.

The Invention of the Microwave Oven

The microwave oven as we know it today was invented by Percy Spencer, an engineer and scientist working for the Raytheon Corporation, in 1945. While working on a radar system, Spencer noticed that the candy bar in his pocket had melted, and he realized that the microwaves emitted by the radar equipment were responsible. Intrigued, Spencer began experimenting with using microwaves to cook food and eventually developed the first microwave oven.
