NATIONAL MICROWAVE OVEN DAY – December 6
Wed Dec 6th

National Microwave Oven Day

On December 6th, National Microwave Oven Day honors one appliance that has changed how we use the kitchen.

Percy Spencer, a self-taught American engineer, discovered a way to heat food safely with microwaves, perhaps by accident.. He noticed a melting chocolate bar in his pocket while working on an active radar in 1945. The microwave beams' high-powered microwave ovens gave a heating effect that is perfect for cooking. Spencer had intended to make popcorn with the microwaves. He tried cooking an egg the next time. Both the popcorn and the egg produced dramatic results. However, the popcorn was a hit, unlike the egg. The egg exploded in his fellow engineer's face, according to his fellow engineer's. We can't cook eggs in microwave ovens, but we can't. Try poaching one. Try poaching one.

Spencer, a Raytheon employee, continued to experiment with new ways of heating food safely with microwaves.

  • On October 8th, 1945, Raytheon applied for Spencer's microwave cooking process in the United States. Spencer's microwave cooking process was patent eligible in the United States
  • Raytheon built the first commercially available microwave oven in 1947. The "Radarange" had been dubbed the "Radarange"
  • An estimated 90 percent of households in the United States have a microwave
