Here’s one from the Inventions You Really Need department: students at
Cornell University in New York have made a baked apple dessert filled with ice
cream. The frozen dessert can be microwaved without melting the filling. Cored
apples are coated with sweet oats and caramel, and filled with vanilla ice
cream. A removal polyester tube around the core has a layer of insulating
Styrofoam on the inside to keep the ice cream cold, while a thin outer layer of
aluminium foil deflects the microwaves. Coming soon: microwaveable pears filled
with chocolate mousse.
