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

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

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.

Most commercial microwave ovens are higher power - typically
twice that of a domestic oven (they often use a pair of
magnetrons). We have them in the office kitchen areas (I think
they are 2kW).
One problem is that retail food products do not state cooking
times in commercial microwave ovens - we have warnings posted
on the ovens that they are much more powerful.

Is the average person not able to divide by two?

Also, not all food can
be heated faster - often heat conduction is still a critical
part of the process, and the ability of food to conduct heat
limits the power input some food products can absorb without
burning
whilst other areas are still cold.

Then the oven needs to have a more even waveform.

There's no problem with standard socket outlets in most
countries. In Europe and many other countries outside America,
standard
sockets are designed to provide 3kW or 3.5kW (depending on
country). Many domestic microwaves in Europe are combination
ovens with convection, fan, and infra-red (grill) heating too,
and often run at 2.5kW when using combination heating (with a
1kW magnetron). In a domestic environment, combination heating
is generally more
useful than simply a more powerful microwave.

Not when I want to heat something in 2 minutes, conventional
heating won't even get going in that time.

is that what your wife said

I'm not stupid enough to marry.

[insert very rude comment about Lynn]

My wife of 28 years died in April.

In that case I deeply apologise.* I am truly sorry to hear that, no
matter how much we hate each other.

Thank you for your kind words.
Hate? I do not hate you.

If you don't hate me, then why the er.... [consults dictionary]
animosity in every post to me?* You don't enter any discussion, you just
say "prick", "******", etc.

i think that says it all
