I just used the microwave to defrost 2 frozen English muffins. It took a minute. It's an awfully handy appliance.

My daddy used to work on US missiles defense installations on remote Pacific atolls. They would do tests of the system by launching missiles from California and tracking the trajectory. When they did a test, a siren would sound and the workers would have to get into bunkers. He said one guy got cooked. My dad never said if he got cooked from the inside out though. On a happier note, sometimes they'd use the radar to cook a turkey. Radar range indeed!
