Default How long does it take a microwave oven to warm up?

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


It's high time they replaced the microwave with something more suitable.
Can't they adjust the frequency slightly so it's only partially absorbed
by water, hence it would make it's way further in to the deeper water too?


Another fool that believes it can do better than the entire industry in
decades.
