TIL one of the first commercially available microwave ovens, the Amana Radarange, was demonstrated to roast a chicken in 9 minutes, bake an apple pie in 6 minutes and cook steaks in 1 minute. The ovens were initially too large and expensive for home use and did not sell well until the mid 60's.

Yeah, my aunt had one of these built in to her California house. I didn't know it was a microwave until just recently. We think it might have contributed to her cancer.
Good god, that website is an abomination.
:(
Sorry to hear about your aunt.
I heard this on some history show and this one site that had the info. It certainly isn't pretty but it can... Well. Display text.
Haha, sometimes you have to find info where you can :)
The oven was cool though, it was built into the wall.
