I understand that Microwaves were once in > vogue but don't they heat from the inside out? actually microwaves heat a layer just below the surface, not the centre as popularly supposed. You *can* make a "baked alaska" in a microwave. Pub food improperly re-heated in a microwave can be cold at the center. However RF cookers, using shorwave radio frewquences, do heat uniformly. Although the UK company Thorn-EMI was interested a few years back, the product never came to the market. This may have been due to difficulties screening for leakage - a faulty (leaky and or off frequency) RF cooker could blot out important parts of the short wave communications spectrum. -- Sincerely, * Longevity Report: http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/lr.htm John de Rivaz * Fractal Report: http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/fr.htm **************** Homepage:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR In the information age, sharing can increase world wealth enormously, because giving information does not decrease your information.
