What Would You Do Without MICROWAVES !?!

Microwaves are found in most households in New Zealand and are used everyday to cook, bake, defrost or simply warm up food.

What would you do without a microwave ?!
-Firstly, you wouldn't be able to simply heat any food up. You would have to wait ages and put it in the oven which would only work with some foods.
- If you needed to quickly defrost any meat or bread, without a microwave the least amount of time it would take would be about 2-8 hours depending on what food it is.
-For things like making noodles and heating up spaghetti, you would have to cook them on the stove in a pot which would take about 3 times as long.
- Although most baking is done in the oven, more modern day recipes are made in the microwave. Without a microwave you would always have to bake using the oven and you would not be able to bake any microwave recipes.

Life without a microwave would SUCK !

Personally I would not be able to live without a microwave. I use it probably 3 or 4 times a day.
- Firstly I use it in the morning to make hot chocolates and to heat up my toast.
- I then use it when I come home to either make noodles or a melted cheese wrap.
- I then also use it half way through dinner to heat it up because it usually gets cold.

Microwaves used for food was discovered by Percy Spencer while building magnetrons for radar sets. It was discovered like most technology; by accident. While he was working on an active radar set, he noticed that his chocolate bar began to melt. The radar had melted the candy bar with microwaves.
The first food that was intended to be cooked by a microwave was popcorn. Ever since the success of cooking popcorn using microwaves, the microwave has become an everyday appliance.
