This page is silly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The culinary artist Arnie prepares a new batch of meatballs before Centuri (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II").

The microwave is an Earth culinary preparation device for the heating of food or drink.

Unbeknownst to both the Earthlings and their distant brothers, the microwave is an effective means of disabling Centurions.

In one known instance, Arnie uses his apartment microwave to heat up a new batch of his infamous meatballs. In doing so, Centuri succumbs to the affects of the microwave's emissions, and causes a commotion that summons Andromus.

Andromus deftly dispatches the microwave with the energy weapon imbued into his hand, destroying the microwave and resulting in the mass exodus due to the resultant fire―initially believed by Norman Blore to be gunpowder mixed inside of Arnie's special delicacy (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II").

Notes

  • The microwave used in the meatball incident is a Whirlpool REM 7200.
  • In close-ups, the Whirlpool label is removed, revealing a JCPenney logo underneath it.
