Microwave oven
Japan's Sharp Corporation began manufacturing microwave ovens in 1961. Between 1964 and 1966, Sharp introduced the first microwave oven with a turntable, a feature that promotes convenient even heating of food. In 1965, Raytheon acquired Amana. In 1967, they introduced the first popular home model, the countertop Radarange, at a price of US$495 ($ in dollars).
Pilot (30 Rock)
The Trivection oven was a convection microwave created by General Electric. At the time of broadcast, General Electric was the parent company for NBC, which produced and broadcast "30 Rock". During the episode, Jack Donaghy describes the product, claiming to have invented it himself and pegging it as his "greatest triumph" after years and years of market research. Donaghy's description of the product was taken near verbatim from GE’s website. He later uses the oven as a metaphor for "The Girlie Show", saying that Tracy Jordan is the "third heat".
