    <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>

                  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>
