Cooking is one of the strongest ceremonies for life. When recipes are put together, the kitchen is a chemical laboratory involving air, fire, water and the earth. This is what gives value to humans and elevates their spiritual qualities. If you take a frozen box and stick it in the microwave, you become connected to the factory.

We think we're saving time with microwaves, cell phones, beepers, computers and voice mail, but often these things help us create the illusion of getting somewhere - and they foster a chain of constant activity. We're really just squeezing extra activity into every minute that we gain.

You never, ever leave art school. It's important to keep finding inspiration. I look at YouTube videos and think, 'How would I do that?' I like experimenting with things. For instance, drying paintings off too quickly in a microwave can look strangely beautiful.

Friends think your life is so glamorous, and it is. But there are times when, instead of going to a glamorous party, I would rather just come home from work, pop in a DVD and eat some microwave popcorn with a cutie on the sofa.

The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.

Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.

I cannot cook to save my life - I microwave everything or it's simply scrambled eggs on toast.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

Microwaves are commonly found in homes and are viewed as essential modern kitchen appliances.

Domestic appliance

Using 'microwave' highlights the speed and convenience of heating, suggesting it's faster than traditional methods.

Quick heating

Not all materials are safe to use in a microwave, often food packaging specifies if it's microwave safe.

Microwaveable material

In a technical context, 'microwave' refers to the type of wave, not just a kitchen appliance.

Technical usage

Microwaves are also crucial for other applications, such as in mobile phones and WiFi.

Not just heating

Understanding microwaves is important for specialized fields like physics, engineering, and telecommunications.

Specialized vocabulary

As a verb, 'microwave' implies a deliberate action to heat or cook something quickly.

Action connotation

The verb form of 'microwave' is widely used in everyday English, especially in informal settings.

Common colloquialism

 and neighboring branes may even share certain fundamental forces like gravity. Both eternal inflation and branes describe a multiverse, but while universes in eternal inflation are isolated, brane universes could bump into each other. An echo of such a collision may appear in the cosmic microwave background

 So from that perspective, maybe we will always be asking questions and never be able to fully answer them. On the other hand, we now can understand how old the universe is. We can understand how to understand the data from the microwave background radiation

 The light that our eyes can see, including all of the colors of the rainbow, is just a small part of the larger spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.

 Moreover, we can calculate a probability that the universe was created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background,
