<font face="Comic Sans MS">Looking around it seems you could own one
for $5k for a consumer model. As I said the only thing keeping me
from getting one is the price. I've learned to cook with the
current microwave technology. I've learned the tricks and have
reached the limits. I now do hybrid cooking using both the
klystron oven, gas heated convection oven and naked flame burner
under a pot or pan. <br>
I think what will happen is some group will raise the capital to
build a plant to produce the key device at a good price on a large
scale and then in a couple of years everyone will have one. There
are still a few people left using CRT standard definition TV's
(with converters), but they are getting rare these days.<br>

bought for a hundred bucks or so, and it's still performing
flawlessly. How much do these solid state gizmos cost?</div>

Solid State Microwave ovens are in the market now.
They ain't cheap, which is all that keeps me from
having one.<br>
In this promo page they cook a piece of fish inside a
block of ice.<br>

You should do a search "solid state microwave oven" as
there are a few hits worth reading. <br>
The basic idea is multiple 250 watt solid state
microwave sources arranged around a cavity. They are
individually frequency agile and their power levels
can also be controlled individually. There are
sensors which monitor the foods reaction to the
energy. The sensors report to a computer and the
computer uses algorithms to control frequencies, power
and phasing, even different modulation methods. It's
a loop. <br>

<blockquote> Living in that sorry backwater of
technology (Britain), |’d never heard of such a thing

know is that I took a busted six-year-old microwave
apart last year and it yielded no useful parts for
future projects whatsoever. I felt cheated!
