The Microwave is a countertop microwave oven. In a base it is a quick, powered way to cook food.
It comes in more than one style of kitchen microwave. It is easy to find and light to move. That makes it a common first cooker in a new base.
How to Use Microwave
The microwave cooks food placed inside it. It holds up to 5 units of food at a time.
It runs on electricity. Once the grid fails, a generator keeps it working.
It heats food faster than most heat sources. Its lowest setting is too cool to cook, which makes it safe for defrosting. It has a bell, so food rarely burns. It turns off on its own when the door opens.
Some foods raise Unhappiness and Boredom when cooked in a microwave. Metal items put inside will start a fire. Food left burning will also spread fire.
The top counts as a crafting surface. The microwave can also sit on a shelf.
How to Move Microwave
The microwave weighs 10 when packed. That is a fair load for a large bag.
