I'm off camping for three weeks half way up a mountain soon. Must get one! I hope my solar panel will recharge the battery pack.New Makita cordless tool

It's not the first:

and there are 12v microwaves for car use (just add a lead acid)
The Wayv might be more up your street/cliff, but don't expect to get much cooking with a charge. I hope your mountain is south facing!

Something doesn't seem to add up - unless I've missed something, says 350W (with a boost to 500W), the blurb says 2 * 40V batteries, therefore at
350W & 40V Mr Ohm tells us that that will be 350/40 = 8.75A. The only batteries I can see are 2.0 or 2.5 Ah. That is about 17 minutes each battery (presuming 100% efficiency) ... can it really heat 11 meals or 20 cups of coffee in 17 minutes?...
Not April 1st (12th on the 'press release')

There are 5Ah and 8Ah 40V XGT batteries:

The reason for the 2.5Ah being a popular size (and similarly 18/20V 5Ah) is they're shippable by plane (<=100Wh), which makes distribution easier.

Meals for mice, no problem. You can also get tiny cups.
I'd not really think this would be very efficient. Anyone could get a big battery and an inverter for a Microwave, just like most devices. Maybe they need to develop one you can put your hands and feet into to stop frostbite, but if you smell cooked meat its on too high!

Grossly inefficient.
