on a 13-year-old post from Sept. 2, 2001.

fwliw, the first domestic nuke was the 1967 Radarange. It had a door that opened downwards and an unsafely basic interlock. A rather different animal to any 1987 thing.
In 1972 or thereabouts when I was 15 or 16 a friend of mine had me
over for lunch in the new house his family had just moved into. It had
a Radarange/conventional oven combo in the kitchen. We nuked hotdogs
in the bun in the thing. I was duly impressed until about half way
through the hot dog when the bun got pretty tough as it cooled. But we
loved the thing so we nuked several more naked hot dogs and had them
on un-nuked buns. I remember wondering why there was a thing that
looked kinda like an antenna in the oven. We watched it rotate through
the oven window and figured it probably bounced the microwaves inside
the oven, kinda like stirring. And the oven window was weird too
because it wasn't plain glass but had a screen in it. It took us a few
days to realize why it had a screen. That thing was cool.
