Etymology

The term 'microwave' comes from 'microwave radiation,' which refers to the electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. The technology was first developed in the 1940s, and the first commercial microwave oven was introduced in 1947. Initially, these ovens were large and primarily used in restaurants. However, by the 1970s, home versions became widely available, transforming cooking habits globally. As the use of microwaves surged, the term 'microwaved' emerged to describe food prepared using this technology. The convenience and efficiency of microwaving have made it a staple in modern kitchens, reshaping how we heat and cook food.
