Informazioni su questo libro

The most ubiquitous cooking appliance in the modern kitchen was not invented by a chef or a food scientist, but by a self-taught engineer working on military radar systems. In 1945, Percy Spencer was testing a massive, high-powered vacuum tube called a magnetron. While standing near the active device, he noticed that a peanut cluster chocolate bar in his pocket had completely melted into a gooey mess. Spencer realized that the invisible electromagnetic waves were agitating the water and fat molecules inside the chocolate, generating intense friction and heat. By trapping these microwaves inside a safe, enclosed metal box, he created a high-density electromagnetic field that could cook food from the inside out in a fraction of the traditional time. This fascinating book explores the accidental birth of the microwave oven. You will learn the complex physics of magnetrons, the early, refrigerator-sized commercial prototypes that terrified consumers, and the massive post-war manufacturing push that brought military technology into the domestic home. Discover the atomic-age science sitting on your kitchen counter. Learn how a melted candy bar and military radar technology revolutionized the speed and convenience of modern culinary culture.
