More beans? Hot snack no further than your USB
Published Monday, 8th June 2009
You might soon no longer have to leave your desk to heat up a daytime meal or snack, thanks to a prototype device — the Beanzawave — that warms food via a link to the USB port on your computer.
The Mail Online today published a feature on the mini microwave, which was developed by microwave experts in partnership with the food multinational Heinz. Gordon Andrews, one of those experts, said the Beanzawave could heat a variety of foods or beverages “in quick time.”
The prototype device — which measure a mere 7.4 by 6.2 by 5.9 inches — carries a mighty price-tag ( £100) at the moment, but that could change if Heinz decides to develop the product commercially. That decision, the company say, will depend on feedback from the public.
More beans, anyone?
