It’s actually been two years since Nigella Lawson’s ‘mee-cro-wah-vay’ moment, and it’s still iconic-Stella Akinwumi-Entertainment – Metro
And it’s stuck ever since!
We can’t quite believe that it’s been two years since Nigella Lawson wowed us with her personal pronunciation of microwave.
In an episode of her BBC series, titled Cook, Eat, Repeat, the 62-year-old se poured some milk into a pan after warming it up in the ‘meeecro-wa-vay’.
Although some people found themselves pressing the rewind button to make sure they heard correctly, viewers were absolutely living for Nigella’s delivery and vowed they would pronounce the everyday appliance in the same way.
And I’m sure the TV chef would be thrilled to know that fans are still talking about the golden moment to this day.
Celebrating the viral meme’s anniversary on Twitter, one person wrote: ‘Still one of the most loveliest pre-Christmas TV moments. I saw it unfold in front of me. Memories I’ll cherish for years to come.’
’Happy meecrowavay day to all who celebrate xoxo,’ another added.

‘Endless entertainment. Forever thankful for @Nigella_Lawson,’ a third tweeted.
Educational language app Duolingo also weighed in: ‘two years since the english language changed for the better x.’
We couldn’t agree more!
At the time Nigella had to address the remark made after fans genuinely thought that’s how the word was pronounced.
When one fan tweeted: ‘Am I the only one who thought @Nigella_Lawson was being sarcastic when she pronounced Meecro-wavé?!

‘Now, I’m starting to think she really pronounces it like that?’
Nigella replied: ‘Well, I do say it like that, but not because I think that’s how it’s actually pronounced.’
Her pronunciation even landed her Bafta nomination in 2021 for Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment – but the gong went to dance group Diversity’s Black Lives Matter routine.
Nevertheless, it looks like microwave is out and ‘mee-cro-wah-vay’ is here to stay!
