Why did it take them so long to make those toasty silver disc things for microwave food?

Why did it take so long?

I have been eating pot pies from the microwave as long as I can remember, what are you talking about?

the first countertop microwave was introduced in 1967 though they did not achieve market acceptance until almost 1980

Active containers have microwave interactive films which usually supply surface or focused heat, in addition to that supplied directly to the foods. The microwave susceptor was finalized by a patent granted in 1986 (U.S. patent 4,641,005) to Oscar Seiferth, then vice president of engineering for Austin, MN-based Hormel Inc.
