How does my microwave work? Where does this technology come from?
The technology comes from GE or whoever it is that made the focking POS.

A microwave oven, or microwave, is a kitchen appliance that cooks or heat food by dielectric heating.

This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being heated everywhere all at once (except in thick objects), a feature not seen in any other heating technique.
Cooking food with microwaves was discovered by Percy Spencer while building magnetrons for radar sets at Raytheon. He was working on an active radar set when he noticed that a peanut chocolate bar he had in his pocket started to melt. The radar had melted his candy bar with microwaves. The first food to be deliberately cooked with Spencer's microwave was popcorn, and the second was an egg, which exploded in the face of one of the experimenters.[1] To verify his theory, Spencer created a high density electromagnetic field by feeding microwave power into a metal box which it had no way to escape. When food was placed in the box with the microwave energy, the temperature of the food rose rapidly.

I wonder if Mr. Spencer cooked his own peanuts with that radar?

He did have three children, so I am guessing the answer is no, not that time.
Maybe The Stormtrooper knows.
