MICROWAVE
There have been many amazing inventuins in the last one hundred years.
In my opinionthe most importante invention of all is the microwave.
Thanks to the microwave you can warm up the food when you want
In addition , you can warm up the foof or warm up the food before you do other thing in the house or while you cock something at the same time.
There are many types of warm up the food but I think that this is the best.
Microwave heating is more efficient in the liquid water or in the frozen water.
It´s dangerous to have electronic devices close you or used electronic devices.
No other invention has had such a great effect on people .
The world would definitely have been a very different place if no one had invented this incredible tool.
