Percy Spencer

Percy Spencer was born July 9, 1894 in Howland Maine but he was an American inventor.

Percy Spencer created the microwave he was standing in front of a magnetron the power tube the radar set. Feeling a sudden strange sensation Spencer noticed that the chocolate in his pocket started to melt. Then he got an idea maybe it’s another way to cook food, then he went to get some uncooked popcorn and he stood in front of the magnetron and it popped.

From this simple experiment Spencer and Raytheon developed this microwave oven the first microwave was big like a fridge was only in big business where they cook food quickly.

There are a few problems with the microwave you could not brown meat in it or make French fries nice and crunchy the company chefs refuse to cook food in the microwave.
The microwave has gone through a lot of changes. Today most people have to defrost there meat and heat there food quickly
