A method and apparatus for microwave sterilizing, disinfecting or otherwise heating materials, objects, liquids and the like under pressure is disclosed. The invention utilizes the generation and transmission of single-mode, noninterfering coaxial microwaves from multiple sources (30) into the material to be treated placed inside a container (26) which is within a treatment chamber (20) of a microwave pressure vessel (12). As a result, a more efficient transfer of microwave energy into the material to be treated is obtained.
