Okay, so it’s possible you could guess how Nigella Lawson pronounces microwave. But we doubt it.
The English food writer and celebrity chef, in this week’s episode of her new BBC series Cook, Eat, Repeat, says that she’s about to add milk that she “warmed in the mee-croh-wah-vay.” The Me Crow Wahv Eh. The meekroWAAvé.
It gets better with repeat viewings, so go ahead and click that one, too. You shan’t regret your choice.
That pronunciation is chaotic good. (And that’s a cute microwave.)
