American Percy Spencer patented a microwave oven
October 8, 1945
A microwave oven is a household appliance designed for quick cooking, heating and defrosting food. Powered by a frequency of 2450 MHz. Unlike other devices (oven or Russian oven), heating of products in a microwave oven does not occur from the surface, as in a classical oven, but for the most part, because radio waves penetrate quite deeply into almost all food products. This significantly reduces the cooking time.October 8, 1945
