"Do Microwaves Cook Food From The Inside Out?
No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the
outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on
the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat
conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not
actually penetrate that far into the food."
