World's smallest microwave plugs into USB

If you can't tear yourself away from the computer for long enough to get lunch this could be your ideal desk accessary.


The tiny microwave plugs into the USB slot on your computer and can be used to heat up a snack or drink in seconds.

It was designed by Heinz and experts at GAMA Microwave Technology, and measures just 150mm x 160mm x 190mm making it the world's smallest microwave.

Before you rush out and try to order one, spare a thought for all the poor IT managers across the country who just let out a collective gasp as they imagined you spilling sticky food all over 'their' keyboards.

Makers of the prototype say they came up with the idea after a recent poll found 20 percent of UK office workers miss out on meals because they are too stressed to take time off.



"It gives workers across the country a much needed helping hand to make some of their favourite hot snacks either on the go or at their desk by just
plugging the microwave into the USB port on their computers," said a spokesperson for Heinz.
