A microwave oven the rectanguloid heating chamber 6 of which has at least two dimensions less than a wavelength of the energy supply thereto and capable of heating between 60-100 grams of food to an edible temperature in 30 seconds or less is provided. The oven comprises a housing 1 coupled to an energy source 2 by way of a coaxial cable 3 and a waveguide 4. The waveguide 4 has a horn 5 providing the transition to the chamber 6 encased by the housing 1. The larger end of the horn 5 feeds into the chamber 6 while the smaller end is connected to the waveguide 4. A lens essentially comprising a laminate assembly of dielectric material plates 11,12 carrying a prism 11 directed into the waveguide 4 is positioned between the horn 5 and the chamber 6. The chamber 6 has a volume of about 0.00168 cubic meters and the power input of the oven is between 600 and 1200 watts.
