Oddly, the Wikipedia article claims that microwave cooking heats food

more
evenly than any other method, when, in fact, it heats from the outside

in,
as does every other cooking method, and can be extremely uneven, if part

of
the dish is sitting in a standing-wave node.


... which should give further pause to those who claim that Wikipedia is
full of good, accurate information ...


It is. No one is claiming it's always absolutely perfect.


Reminds me of this interesting video showing how microwave energy is
distributed inside a standard microwave...
