It is the world's smallest, portable microwave and can be powered via a link to the USB port on a laptop computer. The turquoise device -called the Beanzawave - has been created in partnership with Heinz to allow workers tied to their desks to create a warm snack, or hot drink, to see them through the day. However, it might also sustain a hard-working student through the many hours of lonely revision. And the convenience of powering it from a laptop computer means you could tuck into a hot snack while flying on holiday or even on the train.
To date, the device, which stands just 7.4inches tall by 6.2in wide and 5.9in deep, is only a prototype. However, experts at the Microwave Association insist the sophisticated miniaturised technology does exist to turn the eye-catching gadget into a reality. The mini-micro has been designed by microwave expert Gordon Andrews and Stephen Frazer, an authority on industrial design and managng director of Frazer Designers. 'It is possible to heat a pie, a burger, a cup of soup or tea in quick time,' he said.
'There is the option of powering it with lithium ion batteries that would make it completely portable, which would be a help to fishermen, campers or sportsmen.'
Mr Andrews said he created the oven after being approached for help by Heinz, who wanted a portable microwave that would work with its Snap Pots.
