How to Cook in a Sanyo Microwave

Microwaves were invented in 1946, but didn't hit the commercial market until 1954. The Sanyo Company, whose name means "three oceans," didn't begin producing microwaves until 1964. Today, microwave cooking is a convenience that modern families take for granted unless their microwave is not functioning. Cooking with your Sanyo microwave is simple, and it functions similarly to other microwave models on the market.
