Solid State Microwave oven

[Alex Fraser]

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.
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.
