Mispronouncing words on purpose for comic effect is one of life's simple pleasures. It is best done if it is just a few words, repeated over years while your children are young. Then it can become how your family says the word. A beautiful family joke.

i will never say Microwave correctly ever again...

I do hope most people can see she did this intentionally. A microwave has become a humble kitchen utensil and is frequently looked down on by professional chefs. Nigella was simply doing the age-old thing of mis-stressing word syllables to make something sound 'posh' or 'exotic'.

The pause on the auto captions as it tries to process what she said

If I’m having a bad day watching Nigella Lawson mispronounce microwave is guaranteed to get me smiling again
-
The fact that her pronunciation of "Microwave" sounds convincing and satisfying to our ears.
-
the fact that youtube’s auto-generated subtitles picked up on it is a miracle
-
I can't believe we've been saying "microwavé" wrong all this time! Thanks Nigella for her advice!
-
Adore Nigella. Her sense of humour has always been tongue in cheek :'D
-
Ella Vaday really nailed Nigella Lawson though, especially her cadence.
-
Even though I clicked on a video that has "mispronunciation of the word microwave" in the title, I was not ready for THAT
-
She can say "Me-crow-wa-vè" as long as she wants and I'm here for all of it.
-
"The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking."
-
When the joke goes over your head and you didn't realise she did it on purpose to take the piss..
-
She doesn’t have a microwave. She has a microwavé.
-
To my understanding, this mispronunciation started as a joke in her family until it turned into something said without comic intent. In fairness, that's how a lot of memes start.
-
Oh come on, she's obviously doing it on purpose as a joke. How on earth is anyone taking this seriously?
-
There's no way she wasn't just intentionally pronouncing it that way just to be goofy. I do the same thing all the tee-may.
