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

It heats any water molecules when they get passed through and
start to
vibrate faster. If the water content is mostly on the inside
(like a
pie) it would actually heat from the inside out. If not, it
wouldn't
heat from inside outwards.

The microwaves still act on the water molecules closest to the
surface
first. The center will be cold long after the outside burns when
you
cook on high.

That's bull****.

That is why they pulse the gun (temp control) and tell
you to let things rest. They are trying to get you to wait
until thermal conduction can even out the heating.

More bull****.

Best is to stir things you can and spread stuff out on the plate.

No need to do that.

Greftwell is right in that the microwaves only penetrate about an
inch
into the food.
Depends on the food. The reality is that if you cook
a leg of lamb in the microwave, it doesnt end up
cold on the inside when you cook it on high.

Don't you mean leg of kangaroo? And who in their right mind would cook
a leg of lamb in a microwave? Good grief.
Who would "cook" anything in a microwave. They are meant just to heat
things up unless "cook" just means make it hot to you.

I cook oatmeal in the microwave.
Could the microwave make it any worse?

You are just making oatmeal hot.

Nope, you are actually cooking it, same with rice and potatoes.

Do you cook steaks in the microwave?

Some food gets a better result cooked in other ways.

How about Beef Stroganoff or spaghetti
sauce (not from a box, jar or can)

I do gravy in the microwave, not from a box, jar or can.

And always do frozen veg, rice etc in the microwave.

I dont eat oatmeal but would cook that in a microwave if I did.

I both roast potatoes and do whole potatoes in their jackets in the
microwave.

All are cooked, not just heated.
