microfridge
A device to compliment your microwave oven. | |
We have long had microwave ovens to heat food up rapidly. How about a microfridge that can do just the opposite. Maybe new microwaves could have a heat/cool setting, combining both devices into one.

Fast. Also, unlike "reverse microwaves," physically possible. (Although physics geeks should check out "optical molasses" below.) [rmutt, Jun 20 2000]

Cooling atoms with light. (Hint: won't work like a microwave in reverse.) [rmutt, Jun 20 2000]

"Ok, just nitrofrigerate it for 3 seconds." |

This is called flash freezing, and there are machines that can do it. |

You could do this with something very porous, say bread or sponge toffee, simply by pouring liquid N2 over/through it. As for microcooling a Christmas turkey with stuffing, I dunno. |

Ony it should be called a "macrowave" |
