The microwave was invented in 1945 by Raytheon engineer Percy Spencer, as evidenced by his patent for a “Method of treating foodstuffs.” But Spencer was not seeking food-related inventions.
1945: American engineer Percy Spencer filed a patent for the first microwave after noticing a chocolate bar melting in his pocket whenever he was close to a cavity magnetron tube.
1946: The RadaRange, the first commercial microwave, was sold to restaurants, ship galleys and canteens.
