This product is evidence that the potential of the USB port knows no bounds. Heinz, famous for its baked beans, has come up with a microwave oven called the Beanzawave powered by a computer’s USB port. This is large enough to heat up a small cup of beans such as the Hoops Snap Pots product from the company. The Beanzawave has the safety features found in a regular microwave oven. It takes under a minute to heat up a small amount of food, perfect for single-serve snacks. Though currently powered by USB, there’s a possibility the same effect can be achieved using lithium-ion batteries, which would make it perfect for campers or fishermen. The Beanzawave costs too much to make, about 100 pounds (US$161), and so is currently just a prototype. The company says it will assess public feedback before considering this mini-microwave for mass production.
