Rather than sit down to a feast each night, they often choose to heat and eat a Lean Cuisine or Le Menu frozen dinner. Now comes a convenient appliance in which to cook such solitary repasts: the Half Pint microwave oven. Made by Japan's Sharp Electronics, this compact cooker is small enough (13 in. by 13 in.) to fit snugly into the tiniest studio apartment.
