Abstract

The rapid increase in market saturation of household microwave ovens is creating great opportunities for the food industry. Supermarkets are generating excitement via in-store microwave cooking demonstrations, selling microwave ovens, and developing merchandising approaches for compatible products. Food manufacturers are evaluating current products and packaging to make them more adaptable to microwave ovens. Also, they are researching the possibilities of new products specifically for microwave ovens. During the next two years there should be an increased activity regarding microwave oven compatible food products in food stores.
