Pre-microwave Wonder

Who knew that in the early 1950s an Electrical Exposition was held under a tent just west of the A.C. Jackson home on Highway 54? Billed as a “wonder of tomorrow”, a hand-held device was aimed at an egg in a skillet. As the crowd watched, the egg was cooked in the open with little heating of the skillet. It would be 20 years before microwave ovens became practical. Source - recollections of Ray Harding
