Have you ever used a microwave oven?

I still hear this myth being pushed. Food does NOT heat from the
inside, it heats from the outside in. DUH!!

Yes, about 1/4" penetration. Fat molecules heat fastest followed by
sugar. Dry stuff is hardest to heat. Once you understand how it works
you get better results.

Standing time is important too. The molecules are still active a while
after the mw is off and it allows the heat to penetrate more and hot
spots to dissipate.

The myth of heating from the inside is easy to understand. Just like
the pies at McDonalds warns of the inside being hot, the sugary inside
will heat faster than the dry outside though they both received the mw
energy at the same time.
