Default Slow microwave ovens

Oh deary me. Toys out of pram warning. alert alert...

Seriously, to get the same power out of a Microwave running on a lower
voltage the current is higher. I do not think the problem is the power at
all, its the way they work limiting what you can cook and how it cooks.
Besides you can now get combination ovens that cook the inside with
microwaves and the outside with direct heating.
I sometimes wonder if anyone on this list did any kind of simple science
at school at all.
Conduction of heat, radiated and convected heat and all of that hot
stuff. Rocket science it aint.

Shouldn't we have faster microwaves by now giving out a few kW? They

Higher powered microwaves would require higher powered electric
outlets, probably 220VAC (in the USA).


Not a problem in Europe where everything is 240V. Another reason you
ought to stop that low voltage crap!


Another pathetic excuse for a troll.

Do you seriously have to hard wire all your washing machines,
dishwashers, tumble dryers, etc, etc?


Nope the higher power devices plug in.

And what on earth do you do with hoovers?


They work fine on 110V, stupid.

Also it is questionable whether higher powered ovens would be
practical for use. Getting warming times down to a couple of
seconds might not be a good idea. More speed is not always better.


It can take 5 minutes to warm something from frozen to eating
temperature.


Hardly the end of civilisation as we know it.

I see no reason that couldn't be made into 2 minutes.



William is famous for seeing no reason.
